I haven't kept very close track. It must be in the 30-50 range over the years. I don't submit as much now.
Rejection thread!!
Phew! any light at the end of the tunnel?
How long have you been writing for?
This.
This just doesn't seem possible, even the best of us get rejected every now and then.
I'm guessing you just don't submit at all?
When I first started submitting, it was 2011 and wrote abunch of short stories that I believed (at the time) were the next best thing since J.G. Ballard, after those rejections, I waited up until now to start sending again.
I've recently been accepted, which is great, just wanna keep building steam.
any links?
So do you guys submit something, wait the three or so months it usually takes for a response (if you get one at all), and then resubmit? Or do you submit to multiple places at once?
It's practically impossible to get accepted anywhere without simultaneously submitting to as many places as you can at once. The process is largely a numbers game.
>submitting to publishers
Why would you want these clowns to handle your work? Everything they put out is shit.
Unless your work is shit, that is. Then I imagine they'd be great for connecting you with your audience.
It's about the $ mang
