Well, the editors over at Scrawl asked if I would accept their edits to Stone Musings #1-3 for The Story Garden, so it looks like they're going to accept them.
I read them twice and still can't figure out what they edited, so I said "Okay.".
I'm getting a lot of mileage out of these. I guess the secret is to submit them where there's no competition. I'll bet a bottle of Bunnahabhain that when this issue comes out that my stuff is the ONLY creative nonfiction pieces in it.
Oh, they're going to issue No.6 as their very first print issue, to be sold through Amazon.

If that's the case, then it probably argues more strongly for the value of these pieces -- they include them even though they don't really fit with the rest of the material in the publication. Rather like River Walk already made the exception for this series. Congratulations.

They're open to submittals for another 2 weeks yet, but won't commit to an issue date. "Sometime this fall."

And now they've asked for a bio. Those are hard, especially when you don't have a laundry list of publications.
So, this is what I gave them:
quote:Mike Munsil was born in Chile, raised in Panama and now lives in Shenandoah, Texas. He is a geologist and environmental scientist, and has lived and worked in 15 countries in Latin America, and about 22 of these United States. His native-Texan wife and adopted sons try to keep him honest, but he writes anyway. Some of what he writes is true.

thanks all. when this pub comes out at Amazon i'm gonna buy a copy. then i'm gonna compare the number of sales to the number of authors!
i think all that David Bulley wants is to make enough money to pay the costs of hosting Scrawl for a year. that's a modest goal, but he's a modest guy.
