Time To Send In September's Sucesses
And remember to double-check those email addresses...
Okay, Everybody! We're about a week away from the end of the month and celebrating your successes for September….
So, where were you published this month? Had a book pre-order start this month? Get an agent? Whatever awesome literary news you have, let us know…
Email links to other published pieces or to Amazon books to:
I already know a couple of you who have had some pieces published this month and can't wait to be able to share… and I think a couple ladies may have some pre-sales of their books…so be sure to get us those links by September 28th…
Don't forget…
Rolling submissions open October 1 for publication beginning in January 2025… I've already received some subs, including a series romance…
A little reminder — Series Romance should be between 1201 and 3500 words and have chapters or scene breaks that allow for easy weekly segments…
Email addresses…
I reply to every submission, and have had way too many emails bounce back as undeliverable. When entering your email in the submission form, please double check it's spelled correctly and/or contains the correct host (gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc).
Going forward, if an email bounces back as undeliverable, accepted or not, the piece will not be published, as at that point, I don't know if the writer is legit.
Also, I've had a few cases of the email included in the sub form not being the submitter’s primary email. I have sent responses only to weeks later receive, from a different address, an inquiry about their submission (once it was weeks after their piece was already published). So please, be sure the email you include is the one you actually use/check.
Holiday Stories…
Holiday stories will begin November 1 with Mina Beckett’s series romance, A Winterberry Christmas, and that will post every Friday through the month… followed by Pam Martin-Lawrence’s series, Misteletoe’s For Kissing Under, beginning on November 12, ending December 24… individual stories and poems will begin November 18 and end December 25… there will be one New Year’s Eve story, Old Acquaintances Not Forgotten, written by yours truly, on December 31…
And I guess that's it… I think we're all caught up so far…
Be sure to get those publication links in by September 28th…
Have a great weekend and think happy thoughts 😄…
