[stylist] Bewildering stories

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

The reason editors do not provide feedback for most publication submissions
is they simply don't have the time. It's nothing personal. Some
publications, not many, but some will provide feedback for a small fee if
you request it. But it takes a lot of time to provide feedback for an entire
piece, and editors just don't have the time. It's not common at all to
receive feedback from a rejection.

If you want commentary on your writing, you need to seek out story editors
whom either work for companies or freelance editors. And you want a story
editor, not just a copyeditor. There's a big difference between the two. And
you will have to pay for these services.

Recently, I submitted a story to "Bewildering Stories"; it just came back
rejected.

At least with this publication, I actually got rejection feedback (more
useful than the generic rejection letter I've received from elsewhere.

I found that I had to put on my big boy pants (and Kevlar shorts) before
wading in to what was wrong with my story (I think everything was wrong with
it), but at least I could figure out where I stood.

If anyone else is writing short SciFi, and wants some constructive
criticism, than this is an outlet to try.
