Acceptance thread

[Craig Wallwork]

i've been discouraged with my first round of submissions due to the length of time it takes to get a response and a couple rejections. Today, I woke to a surprise - acceptance of my story "Through Sickness and In Health" by Post Mortem Press for their New Dawn Fades anthology! A few of you were kind enough to edit this story for me (nik, terry, andrew). Funny, I just held this up to peer review at my local writing group and they all hated it.

This is my first anthology acceptance so really a boost to my ego . . . beginning to feel as if I truly am a writer

RUDY JENKINS HAS A HOME.

I'm thrilled that my problem child "Rudy Jenkins Buries His Fears" (which was entered in the recent contest here) was accepted for an anthology with Jack Ketchum, Graham Masterson, Jeremy C Shipp, and many more talented authors. More details to come.

"This Flash Fiction Collection will launch at the 2012 World Horror Convention/Bram Stoker Awards in Salt Lake City. It will premier and be available at the convention. It will be available to the general public in early April 2012."

Jeeminee, this thread needs to be dusted off or sent to the dry cleaners. October sixteenth of last year, Dan my man, do see what I mean about some of these dinosaurs?

Hmm..I forgot we had an acceptance thread. Maybe now we will put it to good use. We just need more frequent acceptances to keep it alive.

[Randy D. Rubin]

... and let us all say, AMEN!
