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

[Tito_Villa]

Thanks for the insight Brian!

[Brian James Freeman]

I see other stories submitted after mine being reported as rejected on Submission Grinder. Is that a good sign, bad sign, or completely indifferent?

There are multiple levels for stories to pass through: our first reader, our associate editor, and then the editors. The system doesn't seem to show that progress, but most of the stories that are left have passed the first reader. Drop me a line via email and I can check the status of your story for you!

Anyone from this forum who hasn't gotten an answer yet: send me an email at [email protected] and I'll bump you to the top of the first reader's priority list! But *just* those of you who visit this forum, please don't pass this around elsewhere or it will defeat the purpose.

Mine's still 'in progress'

[Michael Wehunt]

Nice! Thanks, Brian.

Anyone--Mr. Freeman, perhaps--with an inside track on how the CD slush is coming along? I only ask because I still have a couple of fingernails I haven't gnawed off yet, and I'd like to get started on them.

75% done, I believe... we're getting there!

I submitted a lil' something something too. It was my first submission to a magazine because I genuinely had no idea there was a such a huge market for horror shorts, certainly haven't seen anything from Ireland before anyway. I've been writing horror for years but the stories were usually left to rot on my hard drive.

Good luck to everyone who submitted. Hope to hear back from you soon!

Thanks Brian. Let us know when it reopens. I'm ready to go with another one.

Brian if we've been rejected but have another tale to submit, is it too late? Has the window closed?

We're closed right now, just so we can catch-up on all of the reading. We didn't want new submissions to be waiting for the previous submissions to be finished since it's already been too long of a wait for those earlier subs!

Thanks for the reply Brian!

How are you getting along with the submissions Brian?

Probably 50% read at this point, so we're making progress!
