I've learned to graciously say "no" unless it looks really intriguing. It would be so nice if people who want to write books would concentrate on the basics and build from there. I teach at a writers conference every March and that is one of the points I drive home, over and over. Good luck with the slush pile.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, glad I found your blog.

They just need to seek publication in a different anthology.Jeff Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950686688288213875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33982401.post-75988063004947528252008-06-29T09:55:00.000-04:002008-06-29T09:55:00.000-04:00I'm glad I'm able to help.

They were intended to be pointers on where improvements could be made. Best of luck to you in placing it elsewhere.Jeff Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950686688288213875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33982401.post-28045908766351687322008-06-28T19:52:00.000-04:002008-06-28T19:52:00.000-04:00As the author of said story, I'm depressed I can't...As the author of said story, I'm depressed I can't claim a publication credit for someone having <I>made reference</I> to the piece, a "second party" publication as it were.<BR/><BR/>The advice is appreciated, though.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>DWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33982401.post-89454906553139566052008-06-28T12:29:00.000-04:002008-06-28T12:29:00.000-04:00This anthology is called Rage of the Behemoth.

Is this a consequence of their diet? Or their lack of social skills? <BR/><BR/>Or, is this a somewhat stereotypical and bigoted view of behemoths? Are we being unfair to them? <BR/><BR/>Is there perhaps, somewhere, a behemoth capable of a subtly nuanced range of emotions which don't include rage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
