What I Sold in 2012: Short Story/Poetry Writer



I've got a new story out, 'Alms Race'  at  at Interstellar Fiction and a poem, 'On the Last Day Comes the Indefinable' in the last ever issue of Jabberwocky. I was also delighted to make Matthew Bennardo's list of top stories from non-SFWA qualifying venues. That's the first list I've ever made. I am quite pleased
And today I sold a poem to The Lorelei Signal and to Eternal Haunted Summer. Blimey. 

I was wondering if to post a what I've sold post this year. But then I read few writers posts like Milo's Alex's and Alexa's post and it inspired me and reminded me of a few venues that I'd forgotten about.  

So in the spirit of inspiration, and not at all in the spirit of bragging (okay maybe just a little),  I offer you my sales of 2012:

  2. What a great year! I had plenty of rejections, but no sales. I may do a tally on my blog and see what I can learn about myself.

    1. It just kinda accumulates, Gwen. It does look a lot when you write it all down in one place!

    1. Cheers, Simon. You've not done too badly yourself. Was that three novels you've got coming out in 2013?

  8. Wow. Congratulations to you too, Deborah! That's some list. It's nice writing fiction and poems I think, one offers a break from the other. Anyway, I better get busy! :)
