      I have a submissions spreadsheet I keep, too. Well, spreadsheet is the wrong term as it’s in Word. It’s not nearly as long, but it’s getting there. Glad to know someone whose work I admire goes through the same rejection process I do. At least my rejections are in good company.

      Anyone who writes and submits this much should be commended, but I give you double props for posting the record too. Maybe it’ll start a trend.

  4. Brian McElmurry

      Wow! Inspiring. You got a lot of heart. A lot of heart. Damn!!! Good writing and tenacity gets books published. Seen yrs in B&N

      “Conjunctions                                    Drowned Neighborhood            12/3            NO SS, BL”

      what is NO SS, BL? at first I assumed it was no simultaneous submissions, blacklisted, but that seems extreme, and also you submitted to conjuctions three more times after this, once receiving an N+ (which I’m assuming is a tiered rejecton?)

  6. Ben Mirov

      this document is weirdly comforting 

  7. Blake Butler

      ha, yeah it’s no simultaneous, which i accidentally was including in my cover letter at the time, and i basically got a letter saying they liked it and would have taken it, but since that, good luck elsewhere. weird. i think BL meant But Liked. this shit is ridic

  8. Roxane

      Wow, I get guidelines and I really like Conjunctions, but to reject a story they would have otherwise taken because it was sim subbed? That’s… incredible.

  9. Blake Butler

      i just realized the thing got cut in half by the wordpress publish thing because it’s too big; i just added the other half

      seeing ‘dicey brown’ makes me wonder what happened mazie louise montgomery, does anyone know

      So – what’s the grand total?

      Moving chronologically upward, I was following the plight of Burnsong and wondering how the hell you managed to get any kind of response from Story Quarterly in two months, then clicked away for something terribly important, clicked right back and 2006 had totally vanished. Thought maybe it was a tie-in to your new book. I’m sort of disappointed it was only a wordpress issue.

  14. Catherine Lacey

      my first internet publication was with dicey brown (i think.) I miss maize.

  15. Richard Thomas

      Very impressive, BB, thanks so much for sharing. I have 394 total submissions from 2007-2011 July, with 45 accepted. I think you’ve beaten me by quite a bit though. Very cool to see where you’re submitting to, I was just thinking of sending out some emails to my fellow writers to ask them what their top 5 places are right now, where would they love to publish (outside of places like TNY, TPR, etc.).

      I once started a list of burnt toast. I am a diurnal burner of toast. this has been going on for many years. I subsist on burnt toast, and although I have rejected some burnt toast as “beyond scraping”, I mostly eat the burnt toast. I love/hate burnt toast; mostly love, but sometimes hate (like if I see a picture of eggs benedict on english muffins while I am eating my burnt toast) (actually, I wish I could live on just pictures of food. I like pictures of poached eggs; the puissant yellow of the yolk satiates me.)(I’ve never said “satiates me” before and never will again.) (and I have to agree with what Umberto Eco said about lists {http://tiny.cc/faq3x} – well, I don’t have to, but I do) I like lists in general, and I like this list a lot because of the willingness to incise the wound and let a bit of truth bleed out into the world. maybe no wound, maybe just boredom. maybe no world, just burnt toast.

      I would be interested to know which of these rejections was most devastating to you.

      I once a had a story accepted by three places and got paid $50 by one of the journals that never ran it.  Here’s how it happened:

      1)Story was accepted by journal that paid.  I signed the contract and received a $50 check.

      2)A week later, story is accepted by another journal after not reading my withdrawal email. I tell them, too late–story is taken.

      3) The NEXT DAY, I learn that journal #1–the one that already paid me–is going under.

      4) I immediately contact journal #2, but–within a day–they’ve filled my slot with another story.

      5) So, at this point, my story has been accepted by two places that won’t be publishing my story, and to top it off, I’ve been paid $50.

      6) Three months later, a better journal (Bayou) than the first two accepts my story. It was rejected a total of 60 times, according to my spreadsheet. And I made $50.

      Dear Blake,
      Please stop accessing my publications database.

  22. Blake Butler

      none of them were devastating, i kept doing it

  23. Blake Butler

      chop it up and screw it

      what does the N+ mean?

  28. Blake Butler

      no but with positive notes about the work

  29. Ricky Garni

      Mazie Montgomery’s actual name is Karen Ashburner. She is writing again and reading in the Triangle (Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill) North Carolina. 

  30. M. Kitchell

      blake i like your titles

  31. MFBomb

      Eh…I have lots of chinks and no armor.

  32. Lincoln Michel

      This is interesting to see and makes me wish I’d been more meticulous with my submission tracking. I’ve always tracked where everything is, but stopped bothering with dates a long time ago and have always done it by hand instead of a spreadsheet that could be analyzed. 

  33. Michael Hemmingson

      nice list

  34. Richard Grayson

      I got here from Facebook.  Wow, this reminds me of when I wrote short stories and would send them to what were then called “little” magazines from about ’75 to ’81.  Except I never kept any records.  I would xerox five copies of each story I wrote, send them all out and every time one came back rejected, I’d send it out the next day.  My Bible was Len Fulton’s Directory of Little Magazines and secondarily Writer’s Market and the monthly Small Press Review, which listed “manuscripts wanted.”

      I suspect it was a lot easier to get stories published 35 years ago, just as it was easier to get books published, academic jobs, state arts council fellowships, and artists’ colony residencies.  There were just fewer people writing, few MFA programs, etc.  The competition for younger writers is much stiffer today. 

      What surprises is me that magazines that published my forgettable stories back then are still around: Sou’wester, Cimarron Review, Sou’wester, Pleiades — probably all associated with universities?

      It was, of course, all done by postal mail (the only kind of mail) then, and I imagine most aspiring writers lived for the daily mail with their 9 x 12 manila envelopes.  The ones that felt like they had nothing in it but a single sheet of paper were the good ones.  If anyone wants to wade through the immature, turgid diary entries I have for that period to see what it was like emotionally (you don’t mention your feelings except in your comment), they can look at http://www.scribd.com/doc/34193989/More-Summer-in-Brooklyn-1976-1979.

      We did have it much easier back in the day, I’m convinced, despite the online publications of today. 

  35. Darby Larson

      ah. i always thought it was the other way around, that her real name was mazie montgomery and karen ashburner was the alias.

  36. Ricky Garni

      I enjoy not paying for POETS MARKET every year like in the old (1980) days. The one thing I do miss, though, was the amazing variety of style differences in replies, usually handwritten, often on interesting stationery and stuff. Obviously not happening now (so much.) And going to the mailbox was a lot more fun, too.

  37. Ricky Garni

      I believe her grandmother’s name was MM. She told the story before at a reading we had and I might have the relative wrong. She has gone by several other names in the past, though. Who knows? I make it easier, since few people believe my given name was Crispy Flotilla.

  38. Mark Folse

      Just curious how a piece was ALMOST accepted.

  39. Dan

      What about 2009, 2010?

  40. Lincoln Michel

      Editors will sometimes tell you if a piece was almost accepted (say, was one of a few pieces that didn’t make the final cut)

  41. ho ho ho

      Do you keep them in your basement? Racist and a smuggler. Good luck getting into heaven, bro.

  42. MFBomb

      Try not to project, bro.

  43. bartleby_taco

      A question from someone who has not (yet) thought about publishing: is this amount of submissions for a two year period the average for a young writer? This list is gigantic.

  44. MFBomb

      Yes, assuming you’re going straight slush and not sending to friends or incestuous zines/online journals. I’ve seen much longer.  Most of the best journals have acceptance rates below 5%.

      As another poster pointed out, there is an oversupply of publishable talent.  I read for a journal and reject publishable stuff all the time–there is only so much room.

  45. deadgod

      persistence is not incompatible with devastation

  46. MFBomb

      To be clear, in case there is any confusion, I wasn’t using “chinks” in a racial context at all.

  47. jackie corley

      love that you posted this

  48. deadgod

      what would you be saying if you were saying what you’re trying to say about how blake was using “chinks”

  49. MFBomb

      Blake said I had chinks in my armor.

      I flipped it to suggest that I’m vulnerable and have “chinks” on my armor-less body to prove it.

  50. Boson

      Got to hit us with some STATISTICS.  Between 2005 and early 2009 I had a 13% acceptance rate, which is great, until you take out the solicited stuff — then it drops to 7%.  Just eyeballing it, yours looks…higher?  About the same?  Do tell.

  51. Richard Thomas

      duotrope.com brother, for sure

  52. Sandra

      Great to see this. I have something similar. Since Fall 2007 I have 28 short story (a few flash) publications ( a very few have been published twice). But I did do a calculation that in a single year I had made over 300 submissions. I don’t suppose the other years were much different. Embarrassing but true.
