Cemetery Dance magazine to re-open to submissions later this year

[Kristopher Kelly]

Oh, it's okay. I certainly understand. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the update, Brian! Is there any sense of how long the editors will take to make their final decisions? Or is it a wait-and-see / be patient, little grasshoppers kind of situation?

I need to look over the list again and see how many total stories there are. This has taken much longer than we planned because we underestimated how many authors would have stories ready to submit. I hate long turnaround times on submissions, so I'm very sorry about the wait. I've been submitting stories for publication for nearly 20 years now (wow, that makes me feel old) and the worst part has always been the wait. We'll figure out a way to get everyone answers much quicker the next time around!

Everyone who hasn't heard back has made it through all of the first readers and are being read by the editors now. (The first readers actually finished the other day, but I didn't have a chance to post an update!)

Thanks for this news, Brian. I can't imagine sifting through that many emails!

Good luck to all of you that have made it this far.

[Kristopher Kelly]

Just grateful they gave us all a chance and opened their doors for a few months. It's been a dream of mine for decades to see a story in Cemetery Dance.

It's ok no rush, i've just been having a few problems with my e-mail and wasn't sure if they got to destination.

Cheers

Did you get my email's Brian?

Probably! I get approximately 300 emails per day that require a reply or action, so I'm running about three days behind right now on anything that isn't a high priority item. I'll look for you today, though. Thanks!
