A couple of weeks ago I sent out a package of sample cartoons to 42 feminist and left-wing publications around the country. I just received my first rejection, an emailed rejection notice from The Nation.
The Nation email was actually very nice, encouraging me to keep drawing, but pointing out that the rare cartoons The Nation does publish are always single-panel. (That’s not uncommon; a lot of magazines won’t consider multiple-panel cartoons).
Oh, well. One down, 41 to go. (And after that, of course, comes the next round of submissions – I figure I’ll do that somewhere between two weeks and two months from now).
tomany people know the 510 one
The Nation sucks anyway. You should consider it an honor that they rejected you. Work on your flattering portraits of Lieberman, though. Just in case they change their minds. :p
Hi! I think that the rejection hotline is a great idea! LOL I think they should make more voice automated things like that.
It’s The Nation’s loss. I love your cartoons, BTW.
Does anyone know the 510 number? I heard there is also a 925 number as well…..
