In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Submission Grinder. Read magazines you want to be in to check if their vibe matches yours or if you can write to that vibe. Have a Plan B, C, etc for when you get a rejection for that story. In flash, make every sentence justify its existence with a backspace-knife at its throat.

"Bottom 60% of households" is a wild phrase

CBS NEWS
The findings? For the bottom 60% of U.S. households, a
"minimal quality of life" is out of reach, according to the group, a research organization focused on improving lower earners' economic well-being.
