Which magazines send you emails. You see them in Facebook and Instagram? You hear about their editors, or the causes that they pursue. A magazine like the New Yorker does not have to do a thing, yet they are omnipotent, they simply say, Here I am, and they are. The Paris Review, used to be only in print and received stories only with a SASE. Remember those? Then they woke up. Developed an online presence and began to accept through Submittable. Then you have places like The Masters, or Common, that tend to be mainly online, but they are constantly promoting. So, I guess the answer is, it all depends. For my money, more important than how much they promote would be how aggressive do these publications enter the O'Henry's, Pushcart and BASS.
I admit I don't generally sign up for emails nor do I follow on social media. I get far too many emails as it is and right now, I'm REALLY burnt out on social media. I have started paying attention to the ones who say they nominate for Pushcart and Best of the Web, or whatever it's called.
Wow. My respects go to you, Sir. Perhaps the only thing I can say to you is what is the alternative. I live on hope. Other wise you have some financial security, and then look at the grass grow. I prefer to go with my sword in my hand, still trying, still having hope, still believing. It makes for a better day, even when it's a shitty one. The problem I see often is that we want the big goal, and when it doesn't happen we give up. But if we think the goal is the now, the freedom to write awesome stories and don't give a (nastiest expletive you can imagine) you set yourself free. If you achieved such, there are still in you stories of that caliber. Do not deprive us of that. Keep going. Keep trying, Even when it feels like not your best.

Hmmm, been nominated for Pushcart and thrice of Best of the Net-- doesn't seem to make much difference....
