San Luis Obispo, California, United States I'll just swear by writing a lot, submitting a lot, and rolling with the rejections until they turn into acceptances. Some people swear by a stint slush reading at magazines, and others swear by attending one of the genre workshops (Clarion being the gold standard, but there are other shorter/more affordable ones such as Viable Paradise and the one at the University of Kansas). That sounds glib, but I used to start stories all the time and then abandon them. Finish stories, then finish more stories. In my opinion, the only way to get published is to write, write, write and submit, submit, submit. Things went fast once they got rolling in 2012, but I had lots of stories under my belt by then. On the other hand, I'd been submitting stories to magazines since I was fourteen, with a break when I was playing music full time. My first pro sale was to Daily Science Fiction, and then several months later things took off with pro sales to Strange Horizons, Asimov's, etc. On paper, my breakthrough into short fiction was on the fast side, if you're just looking at stories published. I'm not sure there's much to my 'how did you get published' story beyond saying that I wrote a story somebody wanted to publish. Sarah Pinsker Hi Joseph, Thanks for asking! I'm not sure there's much to my 'how did you get published' story beyond saying that I wrote a story somebody wanted to p …more Hi Joseph, I’ve limited my comments to my favorite stories in the collection (and then graded them in order of preference), but reader - this is a strong assortment of stories you will be hard pressed to put down, and Footsteps in the Dark is more proof that m/m romantic suspense writers are crafting the best stories in romancelandia these days. It’s always challenging to review an anthology and this one is better than most. None of the eight stories are particularly scary or horrifying instead, they’re uniformly clever and compelling - featuring an intriguing cast of principal characters (heroes and villains), disparate plots, and settings that transport the reader around the globe. I had high hopes for this anthology when I saw two of the names attached to it (Dal Maclean and Josh Lanyon), and Footsteps in the Dark more than met my expectations, although in the end, all but one of my favorite stories were penned by new-to-me authors (yay!). |
