But if this is just working days, it changes the wait from 4-8 weeks to 6-12 weeks. Big difference.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170193722932454605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-9709548404278375472008-10-29T08:46:00.000-05:002008-10-29T08:46:00.000-05:00Well, the post was about developing your psychic p...Well, the post <I>was</I> about developing your psychic powers...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614122158918924812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-22987432414724225782008-10-29T06:52:00.000-05:002008-10-29T06:52:00.000-05:00That's kind of cool that he found your blog, actua...That's kind of cool that he found your blog, actually. :)Carrie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893023777471521703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-72245414584689354452008-10-28T14:37:00.000-05:002008-10-28T14:37:00.000-05:00Wow, I am using Duotrope for my estimate but I am ...Wow, I am using Duotrope for my estimate but I am wondering how Will found my blog?Jamie Eyberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875759697016701358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-44603782513676288772008-10-28T14:31:00.000-05:002008-10-28T14:31:00.000-05:00Hi, Jamie.

I was wondering, is the average response time you're using Duotrope's? They list us at 54 days (which ain't bad, right?).<BR/><BR/>Since we're a general-interest magazine, and we only publish one or occasionally two stories an issue (against something like twelve essays and reviews and ten or more poems) very few fiction submissions get read in the two weeks approaching our print date; there's too much other work to do. We'll take another couple days to ramp up afterwords, because of other post-publication chores. Right now, we just finished up our November / December issue, and we'll be back to reading submissions soon. So if you haven't heard from us at this point, we probably haven't gotten around to reading you yet.<BR/><BR/>Generally, you'll get an email the day we accept or reject your electronic piece, and the SASE will go out the day after we read your paper mailing. But the two weeks before and week after our print dates are "the eye of the storm" for fiction, which we're not quite out of yet. <BR/><BR/>We don't track individual submissions that come through the office, because of the huge numbers that come in (sometimes dozens a day), but I hope this gives you a better idea of when you'll hear back.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Will Fertman<BR/>Boston ReviewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614122158918924812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-29253398563763911462008-10-28T13:59:00.000-05:002008-10-28T13:59:00.000-05:00I always have fun replacing windows.
