rejections

Multiple rejections, zing, zing, zing? Did you read my stories?

We read all the stories, and are grateful for the opportunity to do so! Odds are definitely tough—we get in 40,000 a year, but have pages for only about 40.

However, please don't be concerned about the speed with which your stories seem to have been rejected—they go through in batches. (Just as you wrote all three stories at different times, but submitted them all on the same day.)

Again, we thank you for letting us read your stories, and we look forward to your next one!

Glimmer Train has been discovering, publishing, and paying emerging writers since 1990.

One of the most respected short-story journals in print, Glimmer Train is represented in recent editions of the Pushcart Prize,
New Stories from the Midwest, O.Henry, New Stories from the South, Best of the West, and Best American Short Stories anthologies.

Every story published in Glimmer Train is unsolicited.
And every year, we pay out over $50,000 to fiction writers.
