Whoo hoo My first publication!
My "drabbler" which is a form of flash fiction of 100 words, has been accepted!
The story, "How Many Times Have We Been Told Not To Genetically Hack The Mitochondria? Seriously, Dude", has been accepted for publication! It will appear in Issue 14: When Genetic Experiments Go Bad, which will be published in July 2009!

You can purchase this, and a lot of other really super awesome stuff, from

Anthologies

When it becomes available in July!

The editor, who is really nice, also asked if I had other work that I could send in!

I'm really excited since this is my first fiction print acceptance, even tho its just a tiny story its really neat!

Re: Whoo hoo My first publication!
Congratulations, Dusty, particularly about the editor's remark about other work.




(I'm assuming that the title does not count towards the 100 words.)

Thanks!

No the title doesn't count towards the 100 words, the titles could be 15 words or less, so I used the title as the set up, basically. Its actually really hard to have an intro, drama, and conclusion in 100 words or less!

Re: Whoo hoo My first publication!
Excellent news! Congratulations, Dusty.

(But, so that we can buy the story when it's available, issue 14 of what publication?)

Ah, I see. I should have gone further down the page (it's a very long page!), found the magazine, and made the connection.
