Northey

Hi Sally - I'm surprised others haven't posted yet - thought we'd all be up with the birdies today

btw - Yes, as TooWrite is a comp, it should count.

Ah, knew you'd be up and about, Northey

Cheers, Autumn! It's a gorgeous September day up here in the often frozen north. What a blessing after last month's wash-out!

Hi, Sally,

sorry to put a downer on this, but re DVD Lard, I feel that pre-arranged work should not be included as guaranteed future hits will distort the figures.

Davina.

Yes, sorry Sally, but I agree with Davina.
I don't think regular work articles should be included.

Perhaps it's something we should have discussed earlier, as I did mention on the other thread that I felt it should be allowed and also said earlier in this thread that people should have the right to decide for themselves what 'subs' were.

But fair enough. In the interests of keeping things light, I'll concede this one.

Glad to have been of service, Sally! If anyone else would like details of how to submit to this anthology, I'd be happy to provide them.


Northey

Sorry Sally, I didn't realise you meant regular work could be considered subbing - just seems a bit odd to me.

Doesn't it rather give those who write for a living, in the sense of knowing beforehand that their piece will be accepted, a pretty good advantage?

But if the majority don't mind ...

And Northey - yes please.
Can you do it here or do you need an e.mail address?

Don't see why it shouldn't be posted here - I saw it in Mslexia's listings section:

Hourglass Books is looking for short stories for its anthology Leaving Home: Stories of Departure and Arrival. Send submissions within the body of the email, or to Hourglass Books, PO Box 132, Antioch, IL 60002-0132, USA.

Northey

Thanks - every new market helps

I see your point Autumn, but there aren't many 'professional' writers here (as far as I know).

Anyway, it doesn't matter that much, nor does it make a whole lot of difference to the figures, so I'm happy to let this one go if it makes some people feel uncomfortable. I can keep count of them privately, for my own subbing records. The last thing I want, especially on our first day, is to get into protracted debates about what should or shouldn't be allowed.

It will just get in the way of the real reason we're all here. To sub!

Sally

Thank you, Sally.

I must say this subbing thread is also an excellent way of finding out about new avenues.

Sally

Good going Sally - love the no-grass-growing-under-my-feet approach.

I'll have you know I slaved over that 50 word story

Sally

Just as much as I slaved over mine, I expect.

Will try to get some out by the end of the week.
