Just sold a short story to Compelling Science Fiction for their March issue. That’s my fourth pro sale, and my first this year.
For context, I’ve had 144 rejections in five years, including six for this story.

“The most striking thing which we hadn’t actually anticipated is that the emancipatory effect was greater than the monetary effect. It enabled people to have a sense of control.
