When I submitted my flash fiction piece earlier this summer, I thought it would be a step towards my goal of receiving 6 rejection slips for the year. Except it didn’t quite work out that way: “Leodegraunce” accepted my story for publication! You can see it on their website for 7 days: http://www.leodegraunce.com/issue-15.html
It will also appear in their flash fiction anthology next year. 🙂
It’s just a small sale (my husband thought we’d won the lottery with the way I was bouncing off the walls, then laughed when I had to tell him the pay rate), but it’s my first official publishing credit. I think that calls for a little celebration:
Congratulations! And what a great read. You bounce all you want–it’s a great accomplishment!
Thanks! I remember your comments on the short pieces I posted on the blog earlier — those really helped me find the confidence to submit this one.
Excellent!
Congratulations! I look forward to giving it a read when I finish work.
Thank you! 🙂
This is wonderful news and a fantastic story. Congrats.
Thank you!
Congrats that’s huge! 🙂 $ amounts aren’t as impressive as making the first sale of your work. 🙂
Thanks! Now, if only I could convince my husband… 😉
Many successful authors started with small sales of short stories! Congratulations!
Thanks!
