I have, of course, <a href="http://faerye.net/content.php?id=263" target="lINKS">done this before</a>, but only with genre pieces. The piece in question is not genre. So I sit, riffling and re-riffling an inch of my trusty <a href="http://faerye.net/content.php?id=412" target="links">Writer&#8217;s Market</a>. There are so <span class="caps">MANY</span> literary magazines. Do I send it to one of the posher ones that still takes new writers? Do I send it to a little one? Do I send it to five that take simultaneous submissions? I could just choose one, wait for the rejection and go to the next, but the real kicker is&#8230;most of them don&#8217;t read or &#8216;read slowly&#8217; between May and September. Curse it!</P>
