2020 Stats!
Time for the 2020 stats roundup!
Read MoreYear One Stats
As we wrap up our one year anniversary, we thought we would share some stats. While we would still consider ourselves a “fledgling” publication, the monthly growth continues to go in the right direction.

We decided to take a break from the pile of submissions we have to read to try and get an idea of how selective we are (or aren’t) in what we publish. Here is what we came up.
3% of submissions we published
97% we decline to publish
So, for every one article you see on our website, we read and pass on 30 or more. Of the pieces we decline to publish, here are the most common reasons.
50% are not the “type” of thing we publish regardless of how good they are
25% have serious writing/grammar issues we simply don’t want to deal with
15% are great writing, and are the type of thing we publish, but we don’t think we could get a 30-minute podcast discussion
9% do everything right, but we have limited time/space and other things are a bit better
1% are people that just seem like a pain, and life it too short to deal with them, regardless of how amazing they are
