If a short story market doesn't say, how soon can you submit to them again? Is it different for acceptance vs. rejection? (For example, Clarkesworld Magazine says "Do not submit another story for a period of seven days after receiving a rejection" and "Writers whose work is accepted may not submit again until six months after their story is published." Is that sort of policy peculiar to their set-up?)

Specifically, a market has accepted a story by me that has not yet been published. Is it okay to submit another one to them? I'll probably e-mail the editor to ask about their policy, but is there a general guideline?

Current Mood: questioning

The publisher to whom I sent the partial for my mystery novel (The Christmas Tree Farm Murders) has asked to see the full!

My apologies to those of you who already saw the news on Facebook. Or Twitter. Or both. I'm just really excited. This was the first time I had the courage to actually submit a novel. I know a request for a full is no guarantee, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Also, since I was in a rather negative frame of mind when I saw the SASE in the mail, I was expecting it to be a form reject. Thus, my excitement is even more pronounced. As my husband said, I'm having a bipolar day -- very bad news, very good news.
