Grand Science Fiction, a new pro-paying venue for flash fiction stories (of either exactly 100 or 1000 words, in particular), has accepted my 1000-word story "Sequence" for publication. This is my second pro-rate sale though as a new market, this sale won't count for SFWA credentialing until such time as the market met the criteria to be considered a qualifying market by SFWA. And I believe that requires at least a year of consistent publication, so the earliest that would happen would be mid-2013.
May has been a somewhat bogglingly-good month for acceptances for me so far. I'm not complaining in the slightest, but I know better than to consider this some sort of "new normal."
Is the story available yet? I went to Grand Science Fiction and couldn't find it. When does it publish?
ReplyDeleteHi, Stan. No, it's not available yet. I just signed and returned the contract tonight. I haven't been given a firm date yet, but my best guess would be in the summer months (June - August).
DeleteI'll make sure to announce the publication itself here when the story is up. Thanks for asking!
Congrats! Can't wait to read it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope that you enjoy it when it's released.
