They come back, they're undead, so they always do.Jenny Melzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235663870008150355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-118699561898999342009-04-14T19:53:00.000-04:002009-04-14T19:53:00.000-04:00Zombies outdated, ha!

I know people don't often seem to write fantasy plays, but honestly, there's no *reason* for that...<br /><br />Yesterday I got my first academic conference rejection, but they're really good because you get half a page of feedback from *three* different reviewers. So you get some really solid ideas.Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-81926133483910654202009-04-14T00:22:00.000-04:002009-04-14T00:22:00.000-04:00Right now I'm dealing with rejection by getting a ...Right now I'm dealing with rejection by getting a book ready to be self-published.

I'm hanging in there though. Vampires, zombies and werewolves seem to move in and out of the spotlight. <br /><br />Krystyn, you should submit one of your short stories to eMuse. If you're interested in submitting, DM me on Twitter. I'd love an opportunity to read one of your stories, and perhaps even publish it.Jenny Melzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235663870008150355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-60816645256940564272009-04-13T22:39:00.000-04:002009-04-13T22:39:00.000-04:00I'm relatively new to publishing.

I've only received rejections so far, but I'm hopeful that that will someday change.<br /><br />So far, none of the editors have given me any reason for rejection. Their letters haven't come with anything but the "We're sorry." I've submitted to Glimmer Train a few times, but nothing has been a fit so far. One of these days, they'll publish me (I hope)!<br /><br />I admit to writing vampire stories, but that's not all I write. I love them. I agree, however, that just like vampires, zombie stories <I>never</I> go out of style.<br /><br />Good luck with your next submission. You're a gifted writer, I'm sure you'll find an adequate home for your tale of zombie love. That's certainly something I'd like to read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-78385308958267906962009-04-13T22:36:00.000-04:002009-04-13T22:36:00.000-04:00Just wait until that one zombie movie comes out an...Just wait until that one zombie movie comes out and resubmit. Clearly, vampires are only not out-dated because of Twilight/TrueBlood/etc. :-P Once the zombie movie's out, you'll have to beat the publishers off with a stick, I'm sure!
