How did I not know about this before? Thanks, Sandra.

Hell, I'm gonna start writing that right now.

Written! Submitted! Rejected the very next day!

Well, at least you gave it a shot and that's all any author can do.

Manuel, don't feel bad about the rejection. Every market has too many submissions.
I sent a story out not long ago. I have not been notified of the results yet, but the publication had 900 submissions.
My odds are 900 to 1. I may as well buy lottery tickets.

Manuel Royal said...

No problem. I've sold a story after almost 20 rejections before.

Admittedly, the market for robot dinosaur stories is limited outside of the very occasional robot dinosaur anthology.

Well, there are robot anthologies.

And dinosaur anthologies.

Sent it out again to a general sf magazine, though.

Good luck with your story! They don't pick at random, so if you've put some real work in to that piece, your odds are surely better.
