Comment on Dueling Columns – I’m all for Simultaneous Submissions by Richard Thomas

They’re crazy. On so many levels. You should wait a year for some place that is a 1% acceptance rate? And then do it again, and again? You’ll never get published. I outlined a few choices, so it’s really up to you, Phil, but I’ve yet to have it bite me in the ass. That lady must be a genius. The rest of us hacks aren’t that lucky. Hell, I had 20 stories accepted last year, and my acceptance rate was only about 12%. Good luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else. I write some columns over at Lit Reactor, they may be helpful too:

Comment on Dueling Columns – I’m all for Simultaneous Submissions by Phil

I really enjoyed this essay. I recently responded to a post on a writers’ website about simultaneous submissions. I said that I submitted to a few journals last year that do not take sim subs, and 3 people on the forum wanted to cut my head off. One lady even suggested to me that I was “cheating” and “desperate” to get published. She then went on for 3 angry paragraphs about how she’s such a good writer that she doesn’t need to sim sub because she understands the markets and has a high accepatance rate. Blah blah blah.

Anyway, thanks for this! I agree with you on all points, and it makes me feel better to know I’m not the only one who sim subs.

Comment on The Pushcarts, Luna Park Review and Online Publishing by Richard Thomas

Hmmmmmm. Good point. But I can’t imagine a day where the online stories are more than half, right? Still plenty to buy, plenty that came out in print, I’d think.

I wonder if the fact that anyone might just google the poems and stories if they’re online, as opposed to buying the anthology, has anything to do with it? Anyone know?
