Accountability and account management.
Short story accounting is one part accountability, one part account management. Each month, we gather to prepare our stories for the world, check in about submission goals, grieve rejections, and celebrate acceptances.
Dates: Second Thursday of the month
Time: 12 pm – 1 pm (PT)
Place: Google Meet
What happens at short story accounting?
- On the first of the month, you will receive the Short Story Dispatch containing the Google Meet invite for this month’s accounting session.
- On the second Thursday of the month at 11:55, I dazzle the early birds with my masterful chit-chat abilities.
- At precisely 12 pm, we report on our acceptances, rejections, and progress on last month’s goals. This is a good time to ask for advice from the group.
- After we’ve got that squared away, we brainstorm where to submit your stories, talk about submission guidelines, and take care of anything else you need to do to get your stories ready for their forever home.
- At 12:55 pm, we wrap up, then scurry off into the afternoon.
This sounds like hell. Sign me up.

The submission process is a weak spot for me right now. Short story accounting helps make a difficult, solitary process much less daunting and way more fun!
