Submissions

So I finally got off my butt, thanks to Alicia, and started to look into literary magazines and submitting to them.

I've always been worried about submissions to these magazines, but the more I look at them the more I am starting to realize that I can dump in submissions of short stories and stuff into these journals and magazines, I just have to write them and find a journal that fits a specific story, or write a story for a specific journal.

Time to get writing short stories and pumping out the submissions.

I'm going to edit this one just because it's easier, and makes sense to edit, instead of writing more and more posts on this subject. So here we go, here are a few links to journals that I'm looking at, most of which allow simultanious submissions. This means that I can write one thing, and then mass submit to all of them, and see if I get any takers. The list is still growing so there's going to be more edits about this as I go.

Whew, that felt good, that let me close a lot of tabs. I'll continue to edit as I find more things, but for now I want to write something, so I"m going to go open up a document, turn off Star Trek, listen to the next set in the EDC playlist, and do some damage to a blank page.

Okay, wrote a non-fiction/fiction piece depending on how you want to look at it, time to finish up the list of websites that I need to look into submitting into. I might submit to a few of them under Alicia's name. The reason why is that I've taken enough feminist lit classes, and I'd like to think myself as a feminist (not the crazy type, just your every day flavor) but I can't submit to some of the feminist magazines without being a woman, which is sort of ironic and weird at the same time, but whatever, I'll just say my name is Alicia . . . or maybe even Addison, and then work from there and see what I can get away with. Anyways, without further adue here's the rest of the journals that I was looking into and need to look a bit further into.

I'm 99% sure that this is as long as the list will ever be. I just went through something like 800+ journals and narrowed it down to these ones, so the list of where I'm submitting my works should only get shorter from here. Yay!

And then I also submitted to This American Life, because as I progress in My American Life, I want to pitch them that as well, just because I think that it would be interesting and I've always wanted to submit to them, so I gave it a shot tonight. I doubt that anything will come of it, but at least I threw something out there of a story that I think would be interesting enough to get a few people to listen to, now I just have to see what I can do about tagging things on this blog because I was thinking that could possibly be a good thing.
