General Submissions

Does SBM still accept general submissions, or can you only submit to a theme/call out?

Thanks

I think they are still accepting general submissions. I had one accepted last month.

I may be imagining it but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere online. Not sure if it was the forum here or on CWC? Or on Facebook?

That they have overdone it with the acceptance of general submissions and may only be accepting for calls now. Or maybe it was that they have accepted so many generals that it will be forever until you see any accepted generals in print??

I wish I could remember my source???

But sounds like its still worth subbing the generals as Judith had one accepted last month and I think Sue may have too?

just sub everything - you never know! I subbed the other day for a theme and it was accepted.... should send a few more and see what happens...

Judith - congrats on the acceptance!!

Sarah, I *thought* that I read somewhere they weren't accepting generals either...so you're not alone in thinking that.

Charm - congrats on getting another accepted, you should definitely send in more

Oh well, I guess it can't hurt to send some more layouts in and see what happens, what's the worst that can happen...they say no.

Glad you thought so too Tamara. I was starting to question my memory.

Keep up the subbing. Good luck x

I hadn't read anything about them having accepted too many 'generals', so that's news to me! I had my last general accepted about a month ago. I'd say keep subbing them, like you said Tamara, the worst they can say is 'no'!

Same here Tamara. I had a 'general' excepted about a month ago. So I would say.... keep on subbing. You never know.
