It's not that hard to do. The way I see it is this - if you want to submit pieces of work to my pub then you should be expected that 24 hours is good enough and reasonable. I will not submit to another pub if it takes literally days for them to publish!
I once submitted a piece to 'Invisible Illness' (ok it was published) but it took them just over a whole week to do it!
It is not acceptable because that is a whole week when it could have been earned! If you make the decision to start a pub then, you need to think seriously about turn-a-round times😊 and if it grows exponentially, then you need more editors!
The problem with many pubs now is that medium no longer pays them anymore. But I don't think about greed, I care about my writers💖 more than money...
PLAIN & SIMPLE. I care about who writes for Creative Passions😊.
