Glimmer Train Press

by JM

I was originally hunting down a contest when I came across Glimmer Train Press, Inc. and became happily immersed in exploring their site.

When I came upon the writing guidelines page I became even more impressed by their “tidy $700″ for accepted standard submissions.

Considering the Chicken Soup for the Soul series pays out $200 for stories and they are “famous” compared to Glimmer Train, I would think…

Preditors and Editors didn’t have any warnings about it and google searching brought only good words about it.

I suppose I just suspect anyone who pays that well, but I still might give it a try.

As always, do your research, exercise caution, and take these tips into consideration when looking at any contest, publisher, agent, and anything else to do with publishing.

If I get any further news on this, turning me for or against the site, I’ll post.

    No, I hear they’re very well-reputed in the literary world…they can afford to pay $700 because it has to be really effing good for them to accept it.

    Back in my grad school days, I knew a girl who was published there. Good rep. No fears.
