There’s an old Scifi short story similar to this in which a gigantic Mickey Mouse statue appears in the desert. Can’t remember the name or author though.

If you’re hesitating I suggest you ask for professional advice from people who are the masters in the field of writing books, publishing and marketing, why not ask Mark Victor Hansen. He already opened his doors to mentor aspiring authors and personally answering questions at his website at http://www.WriteAbook7MinutesAday.com

It may be because of the title. I think the editors are immediately put off because of it.

I’ll agree and say Dick’s head trips are his most redeeming literary quality.
However, stylistically I don’t think he was a bad writer. I find his prose, at least, interesting, which is more than I can say for some heralded authors.

I was reading The Man in the High Castle another day and realized Philip was indeed a inspired thinker but not a literature master (nor am I, sorry for the english…). I even did a post on the topic, in portuguese http://naestante.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/blade-runner-waltz/
Apart from de drugs and mental disorders he had to write too much in a short time to survive and not easy to keep quality.

One word – Lovecraft! Possibly the greatest horror writer of all time, yet criminally under-appreciated!

Hey Tarl,
Thanks for taking time to make a personal response, that’s definitely something a “real magazine” wouldn’t take the time to do. I also meant no offense to your publications.
I was mostly just bemoaning on how terrible I am. Any publication that gives up-and-coming writers a break deserves all the kudos in the world. I would just like one of those up and comers to be me.

Word Nerd:
You may have a point about the “Dear Contestant” bit. You say “real magazines” do more personalized rejection–well, “real magazines” probably have a bigger budget. Believe me, there’s a reason we’re a web publication. If we can find software that will let us do more personalized rejections, we’ll try it out. Right now we rely on Thunderbird and mailing lists.
However, it’s important to note that we stress anonymity. We go to extreme lengths NOT to learn who you are as we evaluate your entry. The “Dear Contestant” bit, to us, reflects that.
But it might not be the smartest way to write a rejection letter. We’ll consider options and discuss it in the next newsletter.
