I plan to continue to submit to CSS, and with luck maybe I'll get an occasional acceptance. <br /><br />I've also heard good things about Publishing Syndicate and plan to send something to them. Congratulations on your good news from PS. One of these days I hope we will have stories in the same anthology.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-34524976812562154612012-06-30T09:11:09.856-05:002012-06-30T09:11:09.856-05:00Donna--Thanks for enlightening us...and for creati...Donna--Thanks for enlightening us...and for creating a forum for some writers/editors to connect.<br /><br />As a rather inexperienced writer, with only a few publishing credits under my belt (unlike you, Donna, along and Alice and Linda), I have had a great experience with CS and recently, with the Publishing Syndicate's NYMB series. In fact, one of the NYMB editors for the "On Dogs" book actually emailed me, politely asked if I would make a minor revision (without it, the story would not be considered) and encouraged me to send another story (when I noted I had several dog stories).<br /><br />I would strongly recommend that freelancers out there check out www.publishingsyndicate.com because they have dozens of titles--many of them do not even have deadlines yet. <br /><br />And thanks, again. This was a wonderful, informative post, Donna.<br /><br />This dialogue is eye-opening...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-66819486036104748282012-06-29T23:18:30.912-05:002012-06-29T23:18:30.912-05:00Same here, Tammy.

After 10 years with Chicken as a coauthor, I have created a competing anthology -- "Not Your Mother's Book...[subtitle]."

After the lawsuit, healthy royalties paid to us from HCI went away and we were told by the NEW publisher that we had a 5-figure NEGATIVE royalty on the books. It will be interesting to see if this changes anything--but I doubt any of us will ever see another dime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
