AKA: How easily distracted I am (in a productive way this one time)
Not even quite halfway through short story month (May) I received a rejection on a short currently featured in my juggling routine. This led to some brief mourning the loss of Duotrope as a free site, and a resigned sigh as I referred to my own market spreadsheet hurriedly gathered in my final days on Duotrope.
This then led clicking on a link for a market to which I'd never submitted. There, a listing of tracking sites on which they were featured on caught my attention. So I clicked through to find a new site very similar to Duotrope. And there was great rejoicing. The Submission Grinder has all the features I've been missing since January. I'm excited about submitting shorts again!
There's a joke about shipping my shorts in here somewhere but my brain is too fried to formulate it.
If you're a short story writer and are also reluctant to spend the few bucks you happen to make on a short story sale on a couple months of Duotrope membership, I highly recommend The Submission Grinder. They also have listings for novels and everything in between. Go on, check it out. It's free.
Hmmm...worth a look. I see they catalogue novel publishers too.
ReplyDeleteThey do. I have a couple flagged if my current submsissons don't pan out. I'm so happy that they have all the features I've been missing since January. I've missed the search feature most. It saves so much time.
