Amen to every word. It’s very disheartening to a professional’s business when there are amateurs out there perfectly willing to submit their awful crap for pennies just so they can tell all their casserole party friends they’re published authors.

The upside is that these people aren’t bothering me anymore–they have an outlet for their crap other than whatever magazine I happen to be working on at the time. If I see another boilerplate, generic, insert-the-industry-appropriate-noun-here business article I’d have to pound nails into my ears with a scotch tape dispenser.

So, uh, good on ya, I s’pose. Cheers. Yeah. See you around.
