We can always use more, and you can do what my sister did and choose to read only one a week. Those who read slush are all - ALL - people who love speculative fiction. Most are writers themselves. All are readers. <br /><br />As I recall, one of your books got a great review in our magazine. :-)Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918020484045433534.post-33534492423315872532014-11-04T00:54:35.518-08:002014-11-04T00:54:35.518-08:00Darian, I know the magazine you're talking abo...Darian, I know the magazine you're talking about and if you got to the point where you were asked for a three month hold, you'll sell it elsewhere. Anything that reaches the slushpool does. It means the story is publishable. I haven't read it but that is something I know. So try your luck elsewhere - you can't please everyone - and why not consider volunteering to read slush yourself? :-) It's amazing what an eye opener that can be.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
