Long delay in publishing

[drewservlette]

Not sure where I should post this. If this is not the place, then where?

Has any one else experienced a long delay in having stories published?

I’m a fairly new author here, though I have had four stories published in the last few weeks.

I submitted a fifth on 3/31 and a sixth on 4/6. Both still show as “pending.”

Seems like a long time — especially for the one submitted on 3/31.

Have I done something wrong? Who do I contact to look into this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks— drew

PM to Laurel.

The older one might have got lost - there's been some site access glitches that have taken priority - although other threads suggest the back-log is moving again.

Mine usually take about 3-4 days. I read somewhere here that they don't publish on weekends.

3-4 days has been typical for me, but my most recent submission took eight. I have had stories published on weekends.

Thanks all. Someone must have read this as now the first has been rejected.
I’ll check it over and see if I’m going to try again. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Thanks again.

I just had one rejected after three days, which is my usual posting time. First rejection. So I resubmitted and now I’m on Day Six for that resubmission, still pending grey.

Whatever. A million things could be going on behind the scenes. My personal record is ten days, on a very innocuous story.
