At The Awl, Blake Butler has let us in on a little secret: he’s posted a spreadsheet with every piece of writing he’s submitted from 2006 to 2008. It’s an impressively long list that includes where the piece(s) were submitted and whether they were accepted or rejected. Along with talent and good writing, the key to getting your work published is sending it out often, probably way more submissions than most of you (including me) are doing right now; it’s like that lottery slogan: you’ve got to be in it to win it.
