179 Sales in a Year: Writing Round Up 2015

I know! What am I like? 179 sales in a year. Wow. And when I say sales, I mean anything that could be rejected by an editor, so there's a few non-paying ones in there, but generally I only sub to paying venues. 

But even so. It's a lot. And I feel great. 


Sold
169 stories and poems and bits and pieces. Counting everything (about half are reprints.)
20 at professional paying level (using the debs standard 5/6 cpw for originals 3+ cpw for reprints)
Including a commissioned novel

That smashes my old record. Pretty much thanks to Codex submission challenge which helped me double my submission record. That's the take home message, if you want to sell more, you should submit more (Mileage will vary)
