During July 2025, I submitted fourteen stories to publications, including Amazing Stories (1^st sub), Fusion Fragment (7^th sub), Space and Time (2^nd sub; 1 positive rejection), Just Keep Up Magazine (2^nd sub), The Forge (1^st sub), Seize the Press (2^nd sub), Radon Journal (2^nd sub), The Daily Tomorrow (1^st sub), Broken Antler Magazine (1^st sub), Black Cat Weekly (1st sub), Mystic Mind (1^st sub), Podcastle (3^rd sub; 1 positive rejection), Interzone (8^th sub, 1 positive rejection), and NewMyths.com (9^th sub)

I also received fourteen rejections from publications, including Planet Scumm (1^st rejection), Joyland Magazine (1^st rejection), Haven Speculative (2^nd rejection), Penumbric (4^th rejection), Amazing Stories (1^st rejection), and Fusion Fragment (7^th rejection), The Forge (1^st rejection), Seize the Press (2^nd rejection), and Radon Journal (2^nd rejection), The Drabblecast (1^st rejection), and Electric Spec (2^nd rejection; 1 hold request, and 1 publication years ago), Analog (5^th rejection; 1 positive), Interzone (8^th rejection, 1 positive), and NewMyths.com (9^th sub).

Finally, I received one hold request from Behind the Revolving Door: An Anthology, which means two of my stories are currently being held for consideration by publishers.

All in all, this was my most active month yet for both submissions and rejections. Summer is a great time to send out stories and get told no by publications, apparently. Having another story on hold feels great, but I have even better news to share during the next update, so stay tuned!
