So, uh, I haven’t received any rejection letters lately. Note, this is not because I’m such a better writer now; I’ve just failed to send any submissions. Since I’m short on rejections to talk about, I thought I’d add another entry into my much smaller… Continue Reading “Acceptance Letter Archive: The Acceptance + Edits Letter”
This submission statement is going to be short and sweet. Yep, no rejections, no acceptances, and only two measly submissions. Sad, I know.

I’ll be saying this a lot over the next couple of weeks and months, but I wrote a book, and it’ll be available in your favorite reading format (including dead tree) on July 15th.

I certainly don’t have as many data points as some, but I’ve got enough to… Continue Reading “6 Rejection Records & Other Dubious Achievements”
May is over, and it was a good month, if not an overly productive one. I spent much of May working on the final edits of my novel Flashpoint, so there wasn’t as much time to submit short stories as I would have liked. In… Continue Reading “May 2016 Submission Statement”
