Submissions Update

  • 6th Dec, 2008 at 1:51 PM

Just a quick update:

Submissions have been flying in faster than ever these last few weeks, and the February-2009 issue is almost full already. We do have one more fiction spot open though so keep those subs coming. And we read all year-round so even when February is full we'll keep reading for the next issue.

We've also made a lot of headway in getting through the slush pile, and response rates are currently running around 3 weeks.

If you don't already do so, we'd love for you to report your responses to Doutrope. It's a great service and the more accurate the statistics the happier we'll all be.

And lastly, thank you for your continued support!

Glad to hear things are going strong. Nossa Morte is a great mag. You should think about putting together a best of anthology, or some other sort of print publication. As much as I love the free webstuff, having an actual book in my hands is even better.

I think people dig anthologies quite a bit. Mags are fine, but anthologies have much stronger staying power. I tend to submit stories more often to anthos than mags these days, too. Once a mag is gone, it's usually gone for good, depending on popularity and print run. But an anthology can be in print for years.

I think after a year of quality stories, NM has established itself as a publication ready to take it to the next level, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

My pleasure. NM really is a good mag, especially among the glut of thousands of fly-by-night e-zines out there today. I very, VERY rarely endorse an e-zine. In my opinion, you guys are right up there with the likes of Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, and ChiZine.

I really appreciate the feedback from your mag, and I agree with Ian, some e-mags have some pretty questionable material in them. I think there needs to be a standard. You guys are doing a great job! Really glad your mag is starting to take off.
