Made it past the first cut on the Penumbra submission

[julesjones]

Received an email this morning to say that my short story submission to Penumbra had been passed on for the next round for consideration, and that it would be a while before I heard anything further. (They do multiple passes on submissions as they start to firm up the story line-up for the issue.) So at least it was considered a good enough match for what they want to be retained for further consideration. :-)

Good luck on the next level ;o)

Thanks. :-) I'm hoping that if it made it past the first cut, being only 800 words may work in its favour - the zine's electronic, but one of the formats is PDF, so they probably have old-fashioned layout constraints on pages that mean a 3 page story is useful for shuffling the layout around.

That should help ;o)
