It's stupid. Who the hell seeks to publish the worst stuff? If they don't publish well-known authors, then that hurts their credibility. Who publishes work just because an author is connected? If it's good, then it's good. Connections are completely valid. <BR/><BR/>All these supposed iconoclastic literary reviews are trite. <BR/><BR/>Do you want to be seriously unique? How about paying the fucking writer's a decent amount? How about at least more than the cover price of a single issue to start?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703861414547309188.post-8742315956027154762008-06-12T10:14:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:14:00.000-04:00I've been accepted for the next issue, which was s...I've been accepted for the next issue, which was supposed to be this past winter. I'm afraid to write and ask what's going on, but really I should free up that story if they are just going to take it to the grave with them. It's too bad, getting an acceptance by a review that's not publishing. I guess that's like getting a de facto rejection.
