37-day form rejection from Seize the Press.

2-day form rejection from Clarkesword, as expected.
2-day form rejection from Seize The Press and...
2-hour personal rejection from Realm Weavers Anthology.
2-hour personal rejection from Realm Weavers Anthology.
2-hour... acceptance? Longlist? I dunno... from The Echo Tome anthology.
Anyway, they said I passed the first check, so they're provisionally interested, subject to a proper editorial review.
21st response this year.

4-day form rejection from Trollbreath.
I received a full request from an indie publisher this morning. I did some googling, and I'm a little skeptical based on some posts from 3-5 years ago regarding the contract - authors have mentioned that they requested the copyright in perpetuity - no, no, no.
However - over the past summer they formed a partnership with a couple of other indie pubs to expand their reach, and as of January, they are distributed by Simon & Schuster in Canada and the US. So, perhaps things have changed and they are more serious now.
I'll go ahead and submit the full tomorrow afternoon. If they make an offer (which is still a big IF), I can always say no thank you if the contract still sucks.

4 day form rejection from Cosmic Roots & Eldritch Shores.
Some more rejections. A 40-day form letter from Haven and two agent rejections.
I also finally got a rejection after 170 days for a horror anthology with Flame Tree Press, however I can't count that as I marked it as No Response at the end of last year.
We're up to 35 rejections.
