A day or two ago I resubmitted my story “Drugged” to the magazine Son and Foe. They are a professionally paying mag, though most of their content seems to be online as well as print format. I like the look of this magazine and hope they like the look of my story. My classes for

I tried my story, “Drugged” out at Chizine, but it was quickly rejected. The editor gave me good feedback, saying he liked it but thought it was too short. Fair enough. I’ll have to try this one someplace else.

For the first time in my writing career, I have removed one of my own submissions from a market. I submitted a story entitled, “Drugged,” to a market in December and have yet to receive word. I hesitate to mention the name of the market because I don’t want to give it bad publicity. So,

I just re-submitted my story “The Box of Forever.” This makes the third submission of this particular story (it has been rejected twice). This is one of my favorite recent shorts, and I have a good feeling about it. I sent it out to a new market called Withersin, which looks to be an interesting

I still wait patiently for my many submissions and contest entries. As May approaches, I am keeping my fingers crossed that within the HWA newsletter,

This is a slight digression from horror and writing. A fellow writer has posted this info on a writing site that I am part of (writers4writers), and I felt it was important to pass the info along. No money involved, just thirty seconds of your time. One of our Deputies, Steve Bailey, suffered a career

This is a great resource for speculative writers. I just came across it myself. They have forums to find out about missing markets, new markets, etc. All the online stuff appears to be free, but if you want to subscribe to their e-mail newsletter, it’s 20 bucks a month.
