That's an average of a little over 14 stories a day, a bit lower than September's daily average.<\/p>\n<p>The week starting October 25 (the last week before we closed) brought in 117 submissions, tied for sixteenth-highest-volume week we've ever had.<\/p>\n<p>Comparison to recent years: October of 2008 saw 395 subs (a bit over 13\/day). October of 2007 got 326 subs (the same 13\/day); essentially no change at all from 2007 to 2008. So submission volume has gone up by 12% in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>I'll do a full 2009 stats report at some point, but not until we've finished responding to all subs, which probably won't be until December.<\/p>\n<p>Quick preview of one stat, though: we received just under 4,700 submissions in the ten months of 2009 that we were open to subs; average of about 470 a month, or about 16 per day for the days that we were open.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and while I'm here: we currently have about 590 stories under consideration; of those, about 385 are left to be read. (The rest are in the queue to be rejected, or awaiting further discussion and decisions.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October, the Strange Horizons fiction department received 444 valid submissions (give or take a couple), making October our 11th-highest-volume&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strange-horizons"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12499\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
