Strange New Worlds Contest

[jasonandrew]

I recieved my two rejection letters from the Strange New Worlds contest today. Since they were so late, I had my hopes up.

Both of them recieved the "good writing/plot, but not quite what we wanted" section along with a circle around the "please submit again."

The next round of the contest will be next year. I am hoping by then that I won't be qualified as I'll have my three professional level sales. If not, I will try again next year.

I think my writing is improving and if nothing else the quality of the rejection letters seems to be improving.

Sorry to hear about the rejection, Jason, but definitely some encouraging comments! Good luck with the next one! Just going to check out the links in your above post now.

Hey, I noticed that you are publishing a ton of anthologies. Are these antholgoies open? I didn't notice a listing anywhere. Or did they fill up a while ago? I've only been active for about six months. :)

Also, I keep a list of the links you can find my stuff on my information page. I was going to suggest you do the same. Oddly, it helps. :)

Oh, the anthos! Unfortunately, they are both closed. :( (Just doing two at the moment, but I am in the works to set up a couple, possible future biannual mags, so I will definitely keep you posted, Jason!)

Hey, good idea! Now I have to fiddle with my LJ. lol

Thanks!

Thank you!

Doh! I just realized that I just confused you with horrordiva! Apologies. :)

Still, the advice on the information page is still valid. That way people who read your lj can pop over and buy some of your stories. :)
