Daily Science Fiction Fix
The story of the day blog is working correctly. At one minute after midnight each night (eastern time), I publish a link to a new science fiction story. It kicks off nicely. I also have a submission form that feeds the system. I have to manually check the submissions, but I would have to do that anyway to prevent spam from finding the blog.
I am still having trouble finding SF stories. You would think that with all of the great Spec Fic sites that there would be more science fiction. If I click on another zombies in space or cyber-vampire story I will puke.
I almost registered Sc1enceFiction.com with the number 1 as the first i. I don't need another website. I think it's a darn good domain for an ezine, though. It is still available if someone else wants it. sc1f1.com is much shorter and another good website name and that is free, too. If it is available this time tomorrow, I will register it.

You could also use "Crosshairs" if you like as well. If it hasn't been lost.
Thanks for saving "Crosshairs" I really appreciate it because the only copy I had is or was on my crashed Compaq PC. Thanks for promoting it to a new venue.
I read your current post on Yogs Law. Interesting. Since I work in a call center 20 hours a week I know all about pitching. But to book publishers is different.
Thanks
It isn't and we shouldn't expect it to be. You need to encapsulate your "pitch" in the cover letter.
If I ever write a novel - you will write the pitch for me. You do it 20 hours a week, well enough to make a living out of it. The subject is certainly different, but you know, at some level, what it takes to close a sale.
Granted, the market is different, the buyer has other priorities, you can't actually argue too much through a cover letter, but you can sell, sell sell with the cover letter. To do that you need to know what the buyer actually needs, wants or is willing to buy.
