Hodderscape Open Submission Window

[ctg]

I have a feeling they're going to spam massively form rejections in near future.

 

[MemoryTale]

Add me to the list of the fallen. No cake though please, I'm trying to lose weight.

 

[Boneman]

Add me to the list of the fallen. No cake though please, I'm trying to lose weight.

Sorry to hear that. Form rejection, or any feedback?

 

[Jarshen]

I'm out, no feedback or ought.

It’s a mix of relief and huge disappointment, the latter clinging onto the idea of a leap of faith, the former understanding that edit-wise I am such a newbie, but learning. And I am learning.

I don’t comment much but I do listen and I like this place.

Good luck to the rest of you. X

 

[chopper]

plenty more open windows in the... erm... sea... hmm. that needs some work.

upwards! (and congrats for subbing!)

To assist MemoryTale, I am willing to selflessly eat their cake.

 

[Cynric]

I just got mine!

Damn.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Yikes. Commiserations Memory Tale, Jarshen and Cynric. Wonder which of us will be next.

Edit: I'm sure @Serendipity will come in with our stats in a day or two, but I reckon that makes us around 50% down so far and nary a request for a full.

Part of me would love to get that request, but the rest of me thinks my story is a long from being ready to see the light of day yet.

 

[Gonk the Insane]

Commiserations @MemoryTale, @Jarshen, and @Cynric. I hope you have better luck next time - there's one or two other submission windows running at the moment:
Gollancz Gollancz open call January 2016
Angry Robot Another open submission window approaching: Angry Robot Books

Wonder which of us will be next.

I don't think there's many of us left it, but I hope at least a few will get to the next stage (even if I'm not one of them).

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Commiserations, all

 

[prizzley]

My sympathy to the fallen.

No cake though please, I'm trying to lose weight.

Congratulations on not succumbing to comfort eating!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Commiserations to all the brave Chronners who have fallen.

 

[Droflet]

Black arm bands all round?

 

[MemoryTale]

Sorry to hear that. Form rejection, or any feedback?

Form.

Thanks for all the commiserations. I'm not too bothered about the rejection to be honest, it was a recently drafted WIP and a bit of a punt.

On a personal note - I've just got a consolation prize of an Honourable Mention in the Writers of the Future contest. So there is life after rejection!

Wow, congratulations! That's a massive contest and the competition is fierce.

Huge congrats!
