My professor is a Pulitzer nominated writer, and we were talking about this, and he mentioned those exact places, dropping McS and Zoe since he's not that young or hip, and if his work doesn't get through to those places he files it away and either never touches it again, or does a major revision. But there's more to writing than those places. Most of us will never get in. But I don't think publishing short fiction will ever get you rich. It may get you some good exposure. It's all about the novels, these days I think. But I'm a huge fan of short fiction, and there are still a lot of other paces out there to publish. Very true.
