My spreadsheets of rejections are growing. Here are their current sizes -
Magazines | Texts | |
Prose | 165 | 95 |
Poetry | 61 | 136 |
Conclusion: I write more poetry than prose, yet I send to many more prose magazines than poetry magazines.
Here are the stats for how easily I give up -
Times a mag has rejected me | Most times a text has been rejected | |
Prose | 6 (Interpreter's House) | 17 |
Poetry | 34 (Acumen) | 20 |
Conclusion: I'm just as stubborn with prose as with poetry, though I tend to give up sending to prose magazines if they've rejected me a few times. The reason I've had so many rejections from Acumen is that they've been around a long time, and between the rejections I've had successes too.
