February 2016 Submission Statement
Another month, another bunch of submissions sent off into the literary wilds. This time, however, a few more managed to escape the lions, tigers, and bears and return unscathed and intact.

Rejection Letter Rundown: The No-Response Rejection

Ranks of the Rejected: Michael Bracken
When someone asks me what I do for a living these days, I tell them I’m a writer. I even believe it sometimes. I mean, it is my sole source of income, and I do it everyday, so, with some trepidation, I put forth… Continue Reading “Ranks of the Rejected: Michael Bracken”
2015: A Rearview Review
Well, it’s a new year, a blank slate of dreams and possibilities, so instead of focusing on the future and what it might bring, let’s wallow in the past. Yep, it’s one of those year-end review/summary type things we bloggers just love to do.… Continue Reading “2015: A Rearview Review”
