“Valley of Gold” Accepted in “Defuncted: A Collection of Abandoned Things”
One of my earliest short stories, “Valley of Gold,” was accepted and published in what is now a defunct publication known as “Separate Worlds.”
Although I can no longer find my story on this site, I’ve discovered a unique market called “Defuncted: A Collection of Abandoned Things” with this simple mission:
“This project started because I wanted to find a forever home for some of my work that had previously appeared in journals which have now gone defunct. . . . [T]hat’s what you’re going to find here, short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction that has been “abandoned” by the journals which previously published them and is no longer available to read.
Defuncted has accepted “Valley of Gold” for republication. It will appear soon in a future issue.
