This process typically whittles the pile down to between two and five stories. While we have similar taste, I’m more likely to be the “no” vote. A story doesn’t get published unless we both agree on it. Sean Wallace and I handle the next round. Stories are then rejected or moved onto the next round. I’m reading approximately 40-50% of those stories and the slush readers comment on the remainder. The first pass through these stories is conducted by the ever amazing and patient slush readers, (Cynthia Bermudez, John Emery DeLong, Terra Lemay, Aimee Picchi) and me. Original FictionĪs mentioned in my previous editorial, we receive seven to eight hundred short story submissions per month. As promised, this month I will not only reveal some of what goes on behind the scenes but who is responsible for each issue. Last month, I provided the numbers behind Clarkesworld, but numbers alone don’t give you the whole story of what it takes to produce this magazine.
