Apologies for the delay!

During October 2025, I submitted six stories to publications, including Fusion Fragment (8^th sub), foorafaw (1^st sub), DreamForge Magazine (2^nd sub), Meetinghouse (1^st sub), Amazing Stories (3^rd sub), and ShortStory Substack (2^nd sub).

I also received six rejections from publications, including Trollbreath (1^st rejection), Fusion Fragment (8^th rejection), DreamForge Magazine (2^nd rejection), Metaphorosis (5 rejections; 2 positive; 1 hold request), Bog Matter Magazine (1^st rejection), and McSweeney’s Quarterly (2^nd rejection).

The rejection from Metaphorosis, who sent a hold request back in August, means I no longer have any stories on hold by publishers. But as a result, I can send more stories out there. I will be held back no longer.  

After a few slow months, we’ve returned to something close to my average for submissions and rejections. I’m hoping to keep the numbers consistent, since I do not have any new stories to put in circulation (still working on larger projects).

Finally, my story, “The Only Real Thing,” is set to appear in Behind Revolving Doors: An Anthology of Choices, Volume II, by Celestial Echo Press, on December 1^st, so look forward to my announcement then!
