If you&#x27;re writing a lot, it&#x27;s not a risk. You&#x27;ve got something sitting in a folder that you haven&#x27;t touched in five years. Blow the dust off, polish the edges, and maybe you make a couple bucks.<p>Lining up those SFWA ducks will be important. At that point, even as a new publication, if they&#x27;re easy to work with, they&#x27;ll quickly become a great second or third stop for fresh stories. They won&#x27;t get first submissions for awhile, because you can&#x27;t compete with Terraform&#x27;s (and others&#x27;) 25c&#x2F;word rate. But that&#x27;s okay. Gems fall through the cracks. Loads of great fiction out there looking for a home.
