That whole not-being-superstitious thing? Not helped by this CAPTCHA that just came up on facebook:

Writing Schmiting

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

No-go from GUD today; onward to IGMS. Am I crazy to keep submitting to these (paying, big) markets? Yes, yes. I think I’ll try F&SF next. I need to write more short stories. I have a few ideas floating around, nebulous, but nothing that’s caught yet. I’d like to come up with something to send [...]

If I Want to Help You With Your Writing, I’ll Probably Offer

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

It’s not quite as jazzy a title as “I Will Not Read Your Fucking Script”, is it? But it’s the truth. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what I, as a writer, owe other writers. I started to consider the question when the whole MFA consulting kerfuffle began, but John Olson’s Village Voice post–and [...]

One of the Problems with "Switching" from Poetry to Fiction . . .

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Cat Rambo of Fantasy Magazine wins the fastest-editor-ever award, for a fifty-eight minute (nice!) rejection: Phoebe – This is a good story with an absolutely -killer- last line, but it’s not quite right for us. Please send me something else? best, Cat Rambo Man, I really, really wish I had more short stories to send [...]

Another Nice Rejection

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Another nice rejection, this one from Strange Horizons. Apparently sent before I started working for them; got lost in the tubes: Thank you for submitting “The Long Summer” to Strange Horizons, but we’ve decided not to accept it for publication. This is an intriguing, well-written story, and the end is beautifully touching. But it’s just [...]

De-nied

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Nice rejection from the DIAGRAM/NMP chapbook contest: Wow, Phoebe, we really liked some of this; not quite enough for a yes, but I wanted you to know that we enjoyed it quite a bit. Best, Ander Aw, gee. Nice! And a little disappointing. That’s two rejections down out of the chapbook contest stuff. Out of [...]

I <3 Genre Mags

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Another nice rejection, this one from Goblin Fruit. These genre mags, I swear–they warm my little writer heart. Claire, if you’re reading, you should submit to this one, too. They’re pretty much fantastic, and I think they’d love your stuff.

Submission Shouldn’t Entail Submission

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Really nice rejection from GUD Magazine this morning, after the story in question was short-listed: Hi Phoebe It was a really hard decision to send this piece back to you as I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately I don’t have room for it in my issue. A lovely retelling, though. Best of luck with this [...]

Heartening

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve been aiming a little “higher” in regards to places to send my poetry. Sending it to places that pay, mostly (honestly, how else would I rank magazines? I’m not sure. Plenty of “little” mags, not paying, have work that I adore). So it’s been rough going–rejections, rejections, long stretches of waiting and rejections. I [...]
