Thank you for this wonderful video, Shaelin! Much appreciate it. I've been submitting to literary magazines and journals for a while now, and the submission process does get second-nature after a while. I did have some poetry of mine accepted for publication in a journal, and I was most happy upon reading the acceptance letter! It definitely is a long-game, and patience a virtue. To all those submitting or about to start out, I wish you all the best, and you will succeed, one way or another :) Lots of love!
Thank you for advise and tips on how to present manuscripts to magazines Planning , Preparation, Prevents, Poor, Performance, Stay blessed and Fantastic!... kind regards WF Robinson
this editing online tool is simply excellent, but at the moment doesn't exist nothing similar in Latam, so, I recommended so much to integrating the market Spanish, like I said this tool is yet unknown to Latin American writers, and for that reason I consider strategy integrate it immediately. I writing with you guys my first novel but in Spanish with the goal someday it can distribute en eeuu in English. thank you, Reedsy team!
Thank you for this very timely video, Shaelin and Reedsy. It is worth noting that in the last two years, many literary magazines in both Canada and the US report the highest volume of submissions they have ever received. One editor told me that they had to drop their acceptance rate from 2% to 1% because of this. Some journals have restricted submissions or even stopped accepting new submissions (except for contests) for the time being. As for writers, response times are longer due to the volume of material journals need to review.
Getting a short piece published in magazines, ---it doesn't have to be just literary magazines, is one of two good ways to establish a submitable resume or full manuscripts to agents later.
Gordon Lish was fiction editor at Esquire from late 1969 until 1977, hired by Arnold Gingrich to deliver the New Fiction. On his first day on the job Lish ignored the established writers, and went to the slush pile in order to find the undiscovered talents. *Conversations With Gordon Lish* (University Press of Mississippi, 2018) edited by David Winters and Jason Lucarelli. Adrienne Miller's memoir as Esquire fiction editor, *In the Land of Men* was published in 2020 and covers a later time than Lish's. I ordered my copies of these two books from Hyndland Bookshop, Glasgow, my local independent booksellers.
*Getting A Story Published in the New Yorker?* by David B Comfort (Montreal Review online) is worth reading. All of J.D. Salinger's story submissions from 1941 to 1945 were rejected. They never published Thomas Wolfe, Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck. John O'Hara holds the record for 225 stories. O'Hara's long story *Pat Collins* dissects two marriages and changes in a small town in fifty pages. Editor Tina Brown thought Alice Munro's story *The Albanian Virgin* too long, then quickly changed her mind as she saw its brilliance. I am a fan of Salinger, O'Hara and Alice Munro who write in very different modes. I just wish I could find your Canadian magazines here in Scotland.
She covers this in the video, but the answer is: they may edit small things, fix the odd typo or two, and do stuff to conform to Chicago Style or some such, but they expect it to be nearly perfect. (Note, I am a contributing editor for a literary journal.)
@@Hermit_mouse Yup, that's also allowed. Two examples off the top of my head: the first chapter of Nabokov's novel 'Pnin' was originally published as a short story in the New Yorker, and David Foster Wallace's short story 'Good People,' also published in the New Yorker, was later used in his novel 'The Pale King.'
It's your copyright. But if the magazine only allows unpublished works, you have to wait until they publish. If your scenes do get published in your book or some other magazine, you must retract your submission. Note. Most magazines don't want excerpts. But I'm sure there are some out there that accept them. Most want a complete story.

Yo this girl is extremely positive and made a terrible day that I've been having better. She's informative and thorough
Great tips as always. Thanks Shaelin.

Thanks a lot for the information... Very informative... But the funny thing is that I liked you, based on the way you talk. Wao wao.

Your channel has helped so much thank you!
Thank you, Shaelin, for this informative video!
Great cover letter advice! Cover letter commentary always gets such short shrift.
Great advice! Many thanks for this. Is there a source for guidance on magazines that take submissions?
OK, nevermind, just saw the link. Thanks!
Could you make a video on
Top 10 literary magazines of modern age ?
Great video
"Eck-cetera, eck-cetera....” 😂
I think writing short stories will be great to a certain kind of person
What kind?
Once a piece gets accepted do you work with an editor to give it a final polish?
Or do they expect a fully edited final draft?

Thanks@@t0dd000
If you get published in a magazine, how long do you have to wait to publish your work in a book? Do you have to wait?
No. Common courtesy might lead you to wait a few months after the magazine hits the market though.
If I sell a story can I still use it an anthology or as a a chapter in a different novel
Yes. Short story collections often contain stories have previously been published in literary magazines.
@@deadeaded what about as a chapter in a novel?
@@Hermit_mouse Yup, that's also allowed. Two examples off the top of my head: the first chapter of Nabokov's novel 'Pnin' was originally published as a short story in the New Yorker, and David Foster Wallace's short story 'Good People,' also published in the New Yorker, was later used in his novel 'The Pale King.'
@@deadeaded good to know, thanks! I always thought once you sold a story it wasn’t yours anymore.
@@Hermit_mouse Usually, the rights revert back to the writer after the piece has been published.
Can I include scenes from my submitted short story in a later novel to be published?
It's your copyright. But if the magazine only allows unpublished works, you have to wait until they publish. If your scenes do get published in your book or some other magazine, you must retract your submission.
Note. Most magazines don't want excerpts. But I'm sure there are some out there that accept them. Most want a complete story.
I have an Electronics exam tomorrow 😥
@@BlackHermit It probably won't given that it's 3am and I've literally finished 1 page
But thank you very much, kind stranger
@@BlackHermit I answered 40 out of 80 and got 5 marks wrong. 🙃
Let's hope I somehow miraculously score 32 and pass ✌

Keep yourself away from manga or all the stuff from Japan. This is advice for you.
