I don’t normally post on weekends, but this is so odd, I don’t know what to make of it. Just got an email saying my story was now online…on a website I submitted to four months ago and never heard back from. It’s the same story that’s about to be published elsewhere…big no-no. Of course, I’m not going to tell you WHICH story, and one website has a following of possibly six (or fewer) readers. The other doesn’t have a huge ‘circulation,’ but you might actually have heard of it. Through no fault of my own, I could be sent to Literary Prison, where I could end up sharing a cell with Charles’ Dickens father. Wait..it might be worth it.

Who runs and manages these publications? I have had problems of a similar nature, i.e., arts organizations that can’t shepherd their own details. Simple email replies could do the trick. Won’t name the organization that’s at the top of my list here, but they’ve been around for almost 50 years and they still can’t manage their way out of a paper bag.
