First Impressions

From the thoughts of someone whose job it is to read 'slush piles' of submissions, a catchy quote: "I know I'm going to reject a story before I hit the end of the first page. The more slush I read, the more I find that I know by the end of the first sentence." Go here for the rest.

The SnowBlog is one of the oldest publishing blogs, started in 2003, and it's been through various content management systems over the years. A 2005 techno-blunder meant we lost the early years, but the archives you're reading now go all the way back to 2005.

Many of the older posts in our blog archive suffer from link rot. Apologies if you see missing links and images: let us know if you'd like us to find any in particular.
