Thanks @@daedalus. In all honesty for every publication there are about a dozen rejections as well. It’s kind of a number’s game. People who run Barren Magazine are just great, so thoughtful of writers. Who knows 2019 might be the year for you.

@AlanR — it’s not often but it can happen Meg Hunter’s debut, The End We Start From” was only 17,000 or 18,000 words if I remember correctly.

Glad it is useful.
The workshop was great and organised by Word Factory. I highly recommend them if you’re in London.
After the workshop, some of us stayed behind to discuss what we learned and then after that they have a short story club where everybody read a designated story beforehand and then we spent an hour discussing it. The story this…[Read more]

Hi,
I’ve been playing round with a flash and repetitions. It’s still at the early stage but I’m keen to know if it works or not and if it makes sense. As usual, feel free to nitpick and let me know if I have missed any glaring spelling or grammar mistakes.
Thanks!
