Paying Acceptance No. 275. They just keep coming. I’m still on the lifetime road to 300. I’ve netted $302.53 in writing checks, too, in two months. Not bad for the small press. I see they get a little higher and higher as time goes on. But then that’s the road…
My 275th acceptance this weekend comes [...]

I just had another acceptance, this time to a fairly new small press print zine. It will be for their second promotional issue. They pay $7.00 for science fiction and horror stories between 1,000 and 4,000 words in length, and usually up to 4 authors per issue. 7th Dimension is a quarterly.

Just recently had yet another acceptance to J. Alan Erwine’s online publication of Hard SF and poetry, THE MARTIAN WAVE. They pay $10.00 per accepted story, and this would either be my third or fourth acceptance to them ever. They accept traditional and soft SF forms, too, but you can probably make the sell if you [...]

And now, direct from the DAGSTINE LAND archives… A Blast from the Past…!
Today’s Blast from the Past (archived magazine title) features an almost decade old 8.5 x 11-sized publication, which I’m sure many writers from the 1990’s old school, or snail mail submitting generation of genre, will remember. Yep, I’m talking about the Writer’s Digest of scifi; ‘The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writer’s Digest’ [...]

And now, direct from the DAGSTINE LAND archives… A Blast from the Past…!
Well, sort of. I have to start cataloging some of these older magazine appearances. Many of them have long since gone defunct (out of biz, basically), but it’s hard to believe that my name first started appearing in print years ago in small press magazines like this one. [...]

I’ve got a new story this month in the October 2007 issue of Pablo Lennis. Editor-in-chief John Thiel runs one of the oldest stapled-up science fiction & fantasy fanzines out there.

Lineup of scifi & fantasy writers, SF poets, and serialists include the [...]

Also, seeing the latest installment of SAW in theaters (this year it’s part 4). As you can tell from the picture above, the [...]
