... and finally, if it stands up to scrutiny your story will find a home.
A story I'd written a long time ago and submitted over and over again through several rejections has been accepted for publication by The Missouri Review (https://www.missourireview.com). It will appear in their Fall edition, in print, digitally, and audio. I have also been granted the honour to have it included (ahead of publication) in their annual anthology.
This has meant a lot to me on several different levels: an endorsement that what I knew deep down was not only well-written but also a good story. It's also a re-affirmation of the age-old adage 'try, try, try, again'.
Come Fall it shall be available online and in print to purchase. Watch this space, I shall announce it!
A special shout out to friends in the BWC (Bahrain Writers' Circle), Lynda Tavakoli (your appreciation of it gave me the courage to submit) Glen R Stansfield (for introducing me to Allison - who, with a few tweaks, took it to another level), family members who read it and liked it: Mridula Singha!
Thanks everyone!
After their acceptance, I googled The Missouri Review, and they're among the top 50 literary magazines in the world! Success is sweet.
