    How does one know which publication will be most likely to accept a piece. I have submitted some that people like on Fictionaut, but have had almost all of them rejected. The only one I had published was solicited by the editor.

    Just be certain, Sally, that the venues to which you submit - no matter who in FN has submitted there - is in line with your type of writing, style, form, theme, etc.

    There are a number venues that are a good fit for my style of writing, but there's another large number of magazines that aren't at all open to or in need of my type of poem / flash / essay.

    Thank you, Sam. I'm a horrible judge of my own work. I'll just keep plugging away.
