I know this is an old post, but what the heck . . . I am never NOT writing. Ideas are stewing in my head even when I sleep. Then there are the times I am actually typing at a keyboard. Having said that . . . It depends upon what stage of my novel I am at. The first 100 pages are a dreadful...

Thank you for your comments everyone. I am actually hopeful that the Orange Clown will self-destruct. He has already publically insulted the CIA and the FBI. There is a lot of ugly dirt on him that is still hidden. All it takes is a couple of smart spies to expose him.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all you Brits. Please pray for America. E. G. Jensen

BTW - Granta rejected my short story after just two days. lol

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Thanks Marc - that helps a lot.

Richard - I noticed that you had spent time in advertising as I have. I went on a rant about the subject. There are people in adverting whom I could murder with my bare hands. I thought it might have been a little over the top and it might have offended you. I am glad it didn't.

I must confess that I know practically nothing about British literary magazines. Do they publish stories from Yanks? I would think they do. Any advice? Can someone post a list of the top ten UK lit mags? I would love to give it a shot. Many thanks in advance.

It's always a good idea to do as much research possible about each editor. Sometimes they make it easy. Sometimes they are purposely vague about who does what.

OK - So you have your shiny new manuscript and you are now ready to submit. You log on to a publisher's web site. You see a list of editors. It goes from Top Muckety Muck, to the young, lowly, fresh-out-of-Grad-School new person. There are probably several editors in-between. Let's say they...

The top 50 Literary mags. This list is a little dated, and more of these pubs take online submissions. Enjoy. http://www.everywritersresource.com/topliterarymagazines.html

Richard - I removed my comment from your thread today. I feel it may be misconstrued as insulting. I did not mean to be rude if it came off that way. I get a little worked up about the advertising business. - Eric

Go to the local tavern, place a 100$ bill on the bar. Tell the bartender to buy as many drinks for the patrons as he can. You will have new friends. (Of course, in New York City you'll only make 4 or 5 new friends)

. . . and how in hell did you know that? I am impressed.:eek:

. . . maybe its the warm beer. lol
