Back to Journal ![]() « My Interview at the Comicon Pulse | 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 35-37 | Sale! "Squatter's Rites" to Weird Tales » 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 35-37 September 23, 2007 Submissions 420-427 A Public Space (my first sub there) Asimov's (my 17th and 18th) Durham Emerging Artists Program (1st grant proposal for a comics project) Realms of Fantasy (my 9th) Writers of the Future (my 16th) Hardboiled Horror (my first) Weird Tales (my 6th) Rejections 300-304: McSweeney's (4th rejection, just over 6 months) F&SF (20th rejection, 13 days from JJA) Clarkesworld (4th rejection, 14 days) Writers of the Future (Honorable Mention, 15th non-winner) 2000 AD (5th rejection on 6 subs, 68 days) Of Interest: Actually quite pleased to receive my 2000 AD rejection. After no response to my fifth submission, and my sixth one going out just a week before their London offices were flooded, I was starting to think it wasn't meant to be. No comments this time, though, so there's still plenty of reason to be disappointed... Sending out a second story to Asimov's before the last one's back, which is a first for me. Odd that I didn't think to do this when their responses were running 3-4 months last year, instead of now, when I can probably expect a 4 week rejection for the first of the two stories this week. And the latest Writers of the Futre tally: 6 washes 7 quarterfinalist/honorable mentions 2 semifinalists and one pending. Back to work. Filed under Happy Fun Log, Journal, Writers of the Future
