That's an average of a little over 15 stories a day, very slightly higher than August's daily average.<\/p>\n<p>The week starting September 13 brought in 127 submissions, the seventh-highest-volume week we've ever had. Note that that was the week that the Scalzis did their donation-matching thing; I suspect we got a bunch of stories that week from people who hadn't previously heard of us. From September 1 to 13, we averaged 14.7 stories a day; from the 14th (when Scalzi posted) through the 19th, we averaged nearly 19 stories a day. We also had three other odd peak days at various times of the month, with over 20 stories apiece, that don't seem to have been connected to the Scalzi thing.<\/p>\n<p>Comparison to recent years: September of 2008 saw 395 subs (a bit over 13\/day). September of 2007 got only 324 subs (under 11\/day). So submission volume has gone up by 16% in the past year, and has gone up by over 40% since two years ago. (That's a slightly misleading statement, given the Scalzi thing, but there are always different circumstances each year, so in some sense no two months are comparable.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, the Strange Horizons fiction department received 457 valid submissions, making September our 9th-highest-volume month ever.
