It was the first new story acceptance for 2019, “The Junkie” (see January 21, 19), a 750 word epic of mean streets, addiction, and urban zombies. Skid Row with a bite! And, contracts all worked out, an edited proof copy came back yesterday from Editor Jason Brick for ITTY [image error]BITTY WRITING SPACE with a request to get it back “by the first week of April.” The book: an anthology of 100 stories, each 1000 words or fewer, in any genre and/or any style.
So today I opened the attachment up and found few changes, mostly technical (e.g., changes in the form of dashes), checked them off, and back it went with a note that I had no quarrels. Thus one more step taken toward publication, with more to be here as it becomes known.
