Weekly Roundup: September 12, 2024

Post submissions blues

Submitted my story earlier this week and uhh… the status change from “Received” to “In-Progress” on Submittable for four pubs including Prairie Schooner and Granta has me biting my nails even though I’m fully prepared for a form rejection…

Anyway.

Today’s pub roundup is basically the list of pubs where I sent my story.

They’re all accepting submissions right now.

1. Granta

2. Yale

3. Kenyon

4. Ninth Letter

5. Passages North

6. Prairie Schooner

7. Baltimore Review

8. The Sun

9. New England Review

10. Copper Nickel

11. Cincinnati Review

12. West Branch

13. Hudson Review

14. n+1 (Note: Because some folks say that you should always email an actual person and not a generic email, I actually sent my submission to one of the editors directly—lisa@nplusonemag.com. This was either a gigantic mistake or the best thing ever or it doesn’t matter because why would n+1 publish my fiction in the first place, eh? We’ll find out one way or another or never….)

15. The New Yorker (So, I chickened out and sent my story to the generic email listed here…. What does it say about me???)

16. Baffler (Sent the story to their fiction editor J.W. McCormac—jw@thebaffler.com)

17. Craft

Pheww!

Summer doesn’t end until the 22nd… I think. In any case, enjoy these days.
