Story Sold to Daily Science Fiction

Monday, 25 April 2011

Just heard that fantasy short The Standing Stones of Erelong has been bought by Daily Science Fiction, which most definitely counts as bloody marvellous news. This counts as my first pro sale as DSF pay 8c/word.

This was such an easy story to write. I woke up with it there in my head and pretty much just had to transcribe it and polish it up. Love it when that happens.

    Deborah,

    Thanks, and, yes, I really hope they do get accreditation soon : if it is retrospective then that would give me qualification for Associate Membership. Which would be cool.
