For various reasons, my new writing output has been a little slow, but today I thought to myself, “Self, if you don’t have any new material to submit for publication, you should submit some of your favorite reprints and see if they can find a new audience.”

I thought that was a great idea.

Perhaps you have the Next Great Novel all ready to go (more power to you, friend), but even if you don’t I bet you still have something you can send out.

If you use The Grinder for your submission tracking (and I recommend that site highly), it’s easy to search for reprint markets.

So keep writing and submitting, getting those ho hum rejections and delicious acceptances, as often as you can. It’s all part of the Great Circle of Writing Life™. 

Submit early, submit often!

You may remember a recent post about Kintsugi, or the art of repairing broken things. In that same vein, I came across this story from Nature’s Futures section and thought I’d share:

Kintsugi for a broken heart

Nature is a great venue for writers who put interesting, concise twists on the potential futures of science. It has high standards but pays well, responds in weeks rather than months or years, and publishes often. For more details and a link to the Guidelines, I recommend my favorite (free!) authorial tracking site, The Grinder.

Enjoy!

Insane deadline looming so I wasn’t planning on posting anything today but! I just had to mention that my favorite writing and submissions manager The Grinder has added yet another really useful feature: the Market Response List. It tracks all responses from markets where you have current submissions, and is visible as a tab on the main page, next to Recent Activity and Recently Added Markets. So you won’t waste time clicking through to each market individually, repeatedly, far too often!

Yeah, it’s a version of something Duotrope already has. Only, you know, free. Thanks for all your hard work, The Grinder!*

* Not associated with the aforementioned site, just think they are terrific.
