So This Was 2018…
[This post replaces So This Was December…]
We’ve already reached the end of 2018.
So what’s happened this year?
SALES:- I made 6 sales this year.
Third Flatiron; “The Doomsday Machine Retires” for their Monstrosities anthology.
WolfSinger Publications; “Muse” for their Cat Tails anthology.
Mythic Magazine #7; “Not According To Design”.
Blaster Books; “The Girl On Platform Two” to Jouth Anthology, Volume 1.
2 new sales I hadn’t announced yet because I forget to do an entry for November!
The Weird & Whatnot; “The Razors Edge”.
Nomadic Delerium Press; “Super Fake” for their Future Syndicate II anthology.
ACCEPTANCES THAT AREN’T SALES:- I’ve also had an acceptance from Insignia for Volume7 of their up-coming flash anthology. This wasn’t a sale, there’s no money involved.
SUBMISSIONS:- I submitted 240 stories this year.
REJECTIONS:- I had 220 rejections this year.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS:-
Sold “The Razors Edge” to The Weird & Whatnot late November.
Sold “Super Fake” to Nomadic Delerium Press for their Future Syndicate II anthology early December. These will come out some time in 2109 (I assume?).
Hopefully Tuck & Roll will come out this year. Insignia Vol 7 is also currently under construction, that’ll feature “How Have The Mighty Fallen?”
There is one other thing happening, I just can’t give any details on it right now. As soon as I’ve been given permission, I promise I’ll tell you everything I can about that.
