Submission declined on 14 June 2022 by Jovanmilic97 (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Jovanmilic97 2 years ago. | ![]() |
Submission Grinder is a free, web-based service for writers to track their written works--chiefly short stories, novellettes and novellas, and poetry--and search for candidate story markets focused primarily on speculative fiction.
History
[edit]Founded in 2013 by David Steffen and Anthony Sullivan, Submission Grinder manages a database of registered user's titles, story markets, and logging story submissions to markets. Commonly referred to as "The Grinder," it has over nine thousand registered users and tracks more than thirteen thousand story markets[1].
Submission Grinder's market data is used by speculative fiction publishers and researchers to analyze the state of the speculative fiction publishing industry.[2][3][4][5].
Numerous publication markets[6][7] and writing help sites[8][9][10] recommend Submission Grinder to authors wishing to submit work. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) distributes the Submission Grinder's monthly newsletter containing current, upcoming, and closing market submission windows.
Services
[edit]The Submission Grinder tracks submission dates, hold dates, market submission statuses (e.g. pending, accepted, withdrawn).
Nominations and awards
[edit]Submission Grinder won FIYAH Magazine's 2022 Ignyte Award in the category of Community Award for Outstanding Efforts in Service of Inclusion and Equitable Practice in Genre[11]
Operations and funding
[edit]The Submission Grinder is operated by Diabolical Plots, a short fiction publishing market. It is free to users, receiving funding from The Long List Anthology series sales, subscriptions, and donations from individuals and organizations.
