Lol. It is a good reminder. Some editors are adamant that they will blackball a writer if they sub-sim. Considering acceptance stats, I find it a bit cruel if you leave a writer hanging for months with no intention of buying their work.
I submitted to Trollbreath this morning. I've had one R from them so far. After Happy Hour Review and Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores also got subbed to.
I think I'll be working on a piece for the Women of the Weird West anthology. I've only written one piece like that before, but it was a 100-word drabble with male characters. Besides, I've got an idea for something that'll need a few more words...
Here's my take on simultaneous submissions. I send two at a time. I figure at least one won't be read at all : ) Also The Threepenny Review is a tough one. These "prestige" lit journals reserve their space for insiders, largely academics. Just take any contributor and google "teaches at". It'll open your eyes.
Thanks Angelique you continue to have one of the best 'stacks for writers.
Ps. My friend just informed me that getting caught for sub simming was actually an April fools joke. He got me.
And, in turn, you got me :D

I agree with you and also prefer those that will allow simultaneous subs, but many of the big names insist.

Also just submitted to Trollbreath! Best of luck with your story!
Happy Monday

Thanks for the list. I've tried a few of them already, but you never know.
Thanks for this!
