If you do submit anything other than these lengths, it's much harder for them to fit stories in, so they'll be far less likely to use them.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-77649140525249690542017-05-01T18:19:03.309+01:002017-05-01T18:19:03.309+01:00Thanks for a great blog Patsy.

Their guideline says 1200 to 3000 words for short stories so can it be anywhere in between that? Im working on a story of 1500 words currently?<br /><br />@CarmelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-49661415192229269632017-04-19T10:02:50.884+01:002017-04-19T10:02:50.884+01:00Thanks for the update, Patsy!Thanks for the update, Patsy!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539691603325793063.post-69005049728060249432017-04-18T08:32:25.153+01:002017-04-18T08:32:25.153+01:00@ Alyson - Thanks for confirming that.
