Oh, OK I confess the post title owes more to my liking for alliteration than it does to any ongoing struggle to get published by a magazine in Finland. Actually, I’ve made absolutely no effort to do that – and yet have still achieved it!
Thank you to my writing friend Beatrice Charles, who spotted it on Readly.
Finnish magazine Allers is a sister publication to the Swedish magazine Allas, who have published quite a few of my stories. By the terms of their contract, buying the story for one publication in the group means they can use it elsewhere. I don’t get any more money, but I do get to stick another pin in my world domination map, and it’s nice to know the story will entertain more readers.
I love the illustration – I have a rolling pin just like that!

Wow! Congratulations, Patsy! Do you send a story to a whole bunch of magazines at a time? Or do you send them out one by one and wait until you hear back from a magazine before you send a story to another mag? The latter is what I’ve always done, but I’m wondering if I’m losing out this way!

You’re doing it the right way, Fay.
Most magazines want first rights and you can’t sell those to two (or more) places.

Thanks for confirming that, Patsy! I was wondering if I had become a bit “old school”!

That character looks a bit mean with the rolling pin. And bet it’s a great story, well done, only Fiji and Kazakhstan to go now:)
