    How many of these published, by genre?

    • Two purchased, both science fiction, but with a sample size that small, the statistics are meaningless.

      • I’ll add that this acceptance rate is below normal for us. The increase in submissions did not lead to a proportional increase in stories we’re looking for. “Near miss” rejections also fell considerably.
