I just learned that my short story, "The Calliope Man" has been accepted for publication in the "Sideshow 2: Tales of the Big Top and the Bizzare" anthology. Thanks to monstwer, Brant Danay, TaleSpinner, Nick T and various others that provided their thoughts on the story. The anthology will be published in Jan or Feb of 2010, I'll provide more info as I have it. IP: Logged |

Well, nevermind I guess. The editor in question sent me an edited version of the manuscript and asked me to be sure she hadn't changed my meaning or intent. I then responded and pointed out a couple of small typographical errors and mentioned a passage that had been changed. I said I would prefer it as it had been, but if that wasn't acceptable I'd defer to her editorial wisdom. She then said please insert the changes and send the manuscript back. I did. She then proceeded to decline the story (this after I'd already recieved an acceptance email.) ~shrug~ I don't think I'll be making anymore submissions to any Sam's Dot Publishing affiliates.

It's not like I have any choice :-) I'll be looking for another place to sub Calliope Man, and tomorrow I will start a partial re-write on Isle of Storms...I have high hopes for that one. IP: Logged |

That is terrible. It's like receiving a gold metal then asked to give it back. Try, try again. Encouraging to know that someone like your story enough to consider it (that is no small feat). IP: Logged |
