a hello, and I come bearing gifts

[kailhofer]

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

Yeah, you have to follow the submission guidelines. Under 7500 goes to Robert, over that to McCamy. (Jeff isn't the serial editor anymore. Someone should really update those.) It's normally several months until they're published, give or take current inventory or whether or not you need to rewrite.

There's good advice here in the Workshop folder. There may even be things to help you finish some of those stories.

Something that may help get you back into full gear and also help with reaching the end of your stories is the monthly flash fiction competition in the Fun and Games folder. Stories are short, so they're easy to finish, and they help get your creativity going. There is one going on right now, for best 200 word opener to a story.

Anyhow, welcome again, and don't be bashful when it comes to posting comments about the stories for each issue. Everyone loves feedback, and it helps get you feedback in return when you are published.

Nate
