Flash Fiction Sale! Etc!

Thursday, 17 February 2011

A quick round-up of some recent writing successes ...

Flash fiction story Titania has been bought by Flashquake. This was a story I wrote and submitted during week 5 of Write1Sub1, so a small triumph for that crazy little scheme of ours.

Cuento have accepted a couple of micro pieces : a Twitter story called The Lost Art of Conversation (another Write1Sub1 piece) and also a 6-word story called Mrs. Chadwick. Both will be appearing in March.

Trapeze, meanwhile, have accepted another SF Twitter tale : An Explosive Relationship, to be published in May. Again, a Write1Sub1 piece.

Seedpod have published All The Things He'd Never Done With His Life today, yet another Twitter-sized story. It's here in their Twitterstream.

And finally! Scifaikuest have requested 8-10 more SF haiku for my featured poet slot in November. That edition of the magazine is a Hallowe'en special, so that's 10 horror-tinted SF haiku to write. What's not to love ...

    So, let me get this straight. That's fourteen acceptance in one week.

    Fourteen? Ahem, well done, that man.

    Deborah,

    No, I'm not as good as you! I think it's only 10 ...

    *laughs* credit, where it's due, Simon.

    I've only managed 7 in a week when one pub took all five of my poems, and then I got another couple.

    You are--for the moment--the Lord of Acceptances.

    *goes off to make a few frantic subs*

    Deborah,

    You're too kind. And I can't believe I blithely wrote "I think it's only 10"! But I'm nowhere near as prolific as you.

    Old Kitty,

    Hmm, now, that's an interesting idea. It has been done before, I know, but I do seem to have a lot of this very short stuff now. Hmm ...

    Thanks for telling me about the broken link - working now!

    Dom,

    Congrats on the haiku success! It'll be great to share the edition with you. Actually not sure if I'm online or print. That's just the sort of thing I really should know ...

    but you do deserve double congrats!
