setback at the hands of a federal judge...




HELL YEAH!

maybe i should have called all the editors..

so i just made calls to Glenside News and The Clifton Journal, and both editors seemed interested in printing my article!!

i'm so excited! PROGRESS!

spring break is over

back to work.  i am going to submit my newspaper article to my local publication at school, the Glenside News, and my local publication at home, the Clifton Journal.

i am still waiting for magazine responses, although nearly all of the ones i sent queries to stated that it would take anywhere between a month to six weeks to respond to the queries.

i am feeling pretty good about the state of my project, even though i've only been published by one newspaper thus far.  what i'm lacking in articles that have been printed, i'm making up for in learning experience.

sent off 5 more articles

i sent two of them to online publications; one is called thoughtcatalog.com, and the other was the Huffington Post.

fingers crossed!

rejection, again

so i've been rejected from Foreword Magazine.  it's okay...I DIDN'T WANT TO BE PUBLISHED THERE ANYWAYS.

i'm kidding, i'm really not all that heartbroken.  what i seem to have failed to realize is that whatever magazine does decide to publish me then gets the rights to the article, so i can only really be published by one magazine anyways.

heres to hoping i get published!

magazine submissions

i sent out query letters to 10+ magazines today.  naturally, the class i had right AFTER i sent the queries explained proper query etiquette...mine were all wrong.  so, should a miracle occur and i get commissioned to write an article for a magazine, i shall be glad, for apparently, my queries were downright offending.

acception!

my very first published article! it might only be in Arcadia's The Tower, but i'm happy. on the second page too! if all else fails, i will plaster my thesis spot with this article, making a fabulous collage of my words.
