Publish this. Please.
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
It's summer, and I've been getting a fair amount of work done. I've been working on a novel, on a script, drawing lots of my little pictures, and writing stories. I don't send out stories to magazines very much; as any writer can tell you, submitting can be a chore. What this means is that I have a lot of unpublished stories here. Good stories (if I can say that without being the kind of guy who would say something like that).
So I thought I'd try a little experiment. If you're a magazine editor and would like to consider one of my stories for publication in your magazine, please contact me. If you're reading this, you know something about me, and I would like to know something about you, so please include all the information about your publication you can. I'm not demanding a ton of money. I do like to see my stories in nice-looking magazines, and I also prefer national distribution, if possible. Other than that, I'm wide-open.
Among the stories available for publication are: "The Monkey Woman": obviously, about a woman and a monkey; " The Cancer Diet": sad/funny/bittersweet; " The Fortune Ruined Me": a trust fund baby, now middle-aged, lives beneath the stairs of his family home in order not to have to face the real world; "Rudy": "Rudy" is about a young couple who have several disastrous relationships with dogs. And ""Graveyard Days," about a guy who picks up women in a graveyard.
That's about it, dear editor. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Daniel Wallace

Sorry about the previous message fart; I was testing the mechanism to see if it would work. Ever leery of technology.
If you, Mr. Wallace, read this, I just wanted to say that you strike me as an all right kind of guy. I just read the interview you granted Dan Schneider, simply because in a moment of abstraction I was surfing among material about my high school (many moons ago) and found Mr. Schneider listed as a notable alumnus. So I googled him and found your interview. I've never read any of your books but now think I will. Loved the Big Fish movie, so the book can only be better. I appreciated your comments about needing an agent, and all you said about the business of publishing. I'm close to finishing my first novel (by year end, God willing) and refuse to make any overtures toward agents or publishing until the novel is finished. But your words were for some reason encouraging, I can't imagine why. Anyway, you seem like a real good guy, and I suspect are a real good writer, and a real good teacher. Best of luck, whatever you are and in whatever you do.
