Submissions to binah-mishpacha-ami

I use Rifkie Wiesner most of the time, but when the article is more personal - for instance my husband is mentioned here - I use a different name so that the ppl who know me as rifkie wiesner dont automatically realize it's me.

since my writings are so personal I have to use a different name. and I didnt want to use the same name in all 3 magazines (bina, mishpacha, ami.)

just to update-I resubmitted and was answered pretty quickly by binah. I also pulished something which I never got paid for in binah almost a yr ago and because of this thread, decided to nudge. I did, thru email and phone, and got paid pretty promptly afterwards-with an apology for the delay to boot! I have also recently submitted again and I received an automatic reply just like in the old days before the revamping of the whole submission process so kudos to binah for becoming more professional and reliable! Laughing

Thanks for the update, motherhen Smile

I'm glad it worked out for you.
I get my rejections from Binah within hours now instead of weeks or months, so I guess it works out better for me too Wink

oh dnt wry my submissions were rejected too happens to the best of us. Razz

and s'all good cuz then u can just resubmit there elsewhere sooner instead of waiting around for wks...

just got rejected again so sad Crying or Very sad

Motherhen, me too, and this was a piece I REALLY thought would work. Sometimes I feel like there's a conspiracy out there against my writing Sad

Do they give you a reason for the rejection?

No, they don't. They just say please continue to submit more things...the usual policy.

just got rejected from mishpacha and ami-both resubmissions of old binah rejections. and was also pretty sure theyd get accepted the first time-specially one of them which was rly personal and emotional...wish theyd give some feedback too so I knw where im going wrong-specially since the stuff I submitted were pretty much like the articles they publish all the time... Crying or Very sad

but on a happier note I got published in hamodia recently... Smile

not gonna say when cuz its not that big of a mag for me to keep myself anon. Wink

rite.

anyhows, AB did u resubmit anywhere? mishpacha and ami take forever to get back to u but its worth a try...

Motherhen, it was Ami I sent it to. I thought it would be perfect for 'Our Days'. Ami is rather quick to get back to you. I might resubmit to Binah for the fun of it.

oh good luck! hope they take it...

Thanks.
