1 day R from 1101 for a flash. Not really happy with this one anyway, been around a few times. Heading for the trunk.
Got a 10-day from Read Short Fiction, 33-day from OSCIMS, and an 11-day from Apex.
And there's my 22 day personal from Shimmer. Ah, we'll.
Any other good venues for magic realism?
I dunno. I'd be wary of an agent that tried to sell my work without a contract in place. He/she would either be a rookie, and/or unfamiliar with the business side of representation.I forwarded your ms to some of the major publishing houses.
Oh, that's a shame to hear.
I'm guessing you could try literary venues with magic realism. A Capella Zoo specialises in it. Plus any venue that likes contemporary fantasy (eg: Andromeda Spaceways.)
So... the same story that got the lovely personal R from Abyss and Apex after 6 months just got a 6 day personal R from F&SF. If the next one is 66 days, I'm seriously going to start wondering...
Sorry to hear about the R. That sucks, but this is too, too funny.
That's wild. Don't over think it, though. Just do what you'd normally do--see what happens! I'm curious.Thanks KD! It had me shaking my head Perhaps it means I have to submit the story 6 times for it to be accepted? Or... take 6 rejections in stride and then the universe will open? Or maybe, just wait until June 6? I'm enjoying all the numerology/rejectomancy possibilities!
May I offer the opposite advice and say DO over think it. Where would we all be today if Charles Darwin--after noticing the subtle differences in morphology of Galapagos species--had said, "Eh, just a coincidence"?That's wild. Don't over think it, though.

What kind of costumes do they wear?In my fantasy, super agent golfs every Saturday with super publishers. Megadeals are routinely sealed with a wink and a handshake on the nineteenth hole.

Costumes? Who said anything about costumes?soapdish: What kind of costumes do they wear?
V1c: KKB, I like your fantasy. Mind if I imagine them in the traditional golfers plaid pants, with sweaters tied to their shoulders like a cape while they call their mega-star film producers about the manuscript that must be a book and movie and television series?
Yeah, I kind of pictured them all naked and hairy, like some sort of European beach party.Costumes? Who said anything about costumes?
