Track your story in the slush pileNOTICEOur Slush Wrangler runs this tracking page to let authors know which stage of the queue their stories are in. Stories are listed by submission number, there is no information to identify authors or story titles. Partly because that sort of info shouldn't be public, but also because we don't want to let the slush readers know who the authors are. Anonymous readings are vital to the ASIM process. Submission status July 10, 2008We are currently having long delays in processing time, which look likely to continue. Please allow one month for receipt of your manuscript before querying.As always you will receive emails to tell you when we add your submission to the database, and when it has been read. We have added submissions from JUNE 16 and earlier to the database. The usual introAndromeda Spaceways uses an anonymous three round submission process. If you send a submission to us, it enters round one as soon as we receive it and will be assigned a reference number. A submission moves through to round two and round three if our readers decide to bump it up the line. You can track where your submission is by checking below.Once a submission is in round three, ASIM editors can view the story and author, and select it for their issue. Because ASIM is edited by a different person for each issue, we hold onto round three stories for three months so that all the potential editors have time to view them. If your story is accepted, it may be up to 18 months before it is published. To submit a story to Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, see our guidelines. Thinking of querying?* If you sent your story before June 16, and you don't have a tracking number, drop us a query to check we received it. We've had a few bounces, of late, from author email addresses. If you sent your story on or after June 16, we have it, but haven't yet added it to the database. We'll get there as soon as we can! * If your story has a reference number, but it's not listed here and the date at the top of this page is today's date, then it's probably been released. Please contact me (submissions@ ) if you didn't receive an email with this information, and I'll send you a copy from our records. Current first/second round poetry submissions
Current submissions in round one. Status: acknowledgement sent, submission with first round reader
Current submissions in round two Status: with round two readers (note: we only move stories to round three once a week, so some authors may see their story here after receiving a 'hold' request)
Current submissions in round 3 Status: Being viewed by editors. Stories are held for three months; if no editor has selected the story in that time, the submission is released back to the author.
