As to the accuracy of acceptances and rejections, it's only as good as the information people put into it or respond to. I'm glad we're listed there, but I'd say it's about the same value as any other market listing.<br /><br />Jay Hartman<br />Editor-in-Chief<br />Untreed Reads Publishing<br />http://www.untreedreads.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932974993662364716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-71036274857027785502010-12-01T16:22:40.888-08:002010-12-01T16:22:40.888-08:00Very effective tool and great detailed info, keepi...Very effective tool and great detailed info, keeping your acceptances and rejects also helps the accuracy of their reporting percentages..a great toolMichael Solenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120045114297450520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-14617550270504992422010-11-30T12:57:40.929-08:002010-11-30T12:57:40.929-08:00Steve--I thought that might be a problem.

I only submit to publications that I have read at least a couple of issues. <br /><br />Though even if one hadn't read Needle, the description on Duotrope specifically says you only take Mystery and Thriller... I guess people don't read that either!Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-78570833863297335482010-11-30T05:44:54.689-08:002010-11-30T05:44:54.689-08:00I like Duotrope and love that they exist.

They seem like nice folks, too.<br /><br />My problem, as a magazine editor, is that we get many, many, many submissions through Duotrope from people who just see our magazine in a list, by searching for a keyword. I'd kinda prefer people actually know a little about the magazine they're submitting to before they send out their stuff.<br /><br />Read a copy. Buy a copy. That sort of thing. Maybe that would prevent a crime fiction magazine getting about a dozen horror stories a week. Or the nine sc-fi per week, on average.Steve Weddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876211586767139613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-50180339338496597012010-11-28T18:08:49.750-08:002010-11-28T18:08:49.750-08:00I'm famiar with Duotrope.

I'm sure there were a lot of features that I didn't use, but I'm sure i'll revisit it now that I am also trying to write some shorts as well as another novel. Thanks for the reminder.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.com
