I did have one submission that I rejected because the author could (in my view) sell it to a higher paying market. He would have only got $25 from me. I told him if he failed to send it elsewhere, submit it to me again.

Hey cats...in following up with a post I made, I'd like to encourage everyone NOT to submit to non-paying markets. Your efforts and time in writing your story are worth something. If you think you're getting good exposure from non-paying markets, you aren't. Your name won't be remembered and editors at established markets won't care if you've placed 50 pieces with non-paying markets. Respect your creative output enough to demand some compensation for it. Start high up in the paying markets and work your way down. And never give your story away for free. That's my view

Oh, sorry for disappearing. Creative writing is awesome. It's all poetry now, but I'm learning so much about poems I didn' t know, like meter, and how much abstraction to use.

Ascenders, by the way, is still going. I take creative writing in university now and it steals my writing time. But I work on Ascenders.
