New Record


Yesterday I received a form rejection for my submission to Open City, made December 22, 2005. 660 days. Wow. I see another 500+ day submission recently reported on Duotrope, too.

Comments:
I just got one from Open City too, but it was only 359 days. Still though, that's just stupid. When I start my mag, I'm gonna respond in less than one month to all submissions! Haha. Seriously, I know it's a really tough job, and I'm willing to wait 6 months for the really high-profile places that get thousands and thousands of submissions, but 600+ days is just crazy!
 
That is ridiculous. I would have withdrawn the poems and sent them elsewhere.
 
That's entirely absurd. Then again, better a late response than no response at all? I could list a handful of journals who never got back to me.
 
Geez.

I sent some poems out Jan 1st & I thought THAT was bad.

No reply to a follow-up Aug email inquiry.

What is wrong with people LOL?
 
Dude.
 
Woah.

I'm still waiting for a few subs I sent out in the 1990s...
