Second Book Blues

So, working on the re-organization of my two manuscripts for the next set of deadlines. For all the “first book” contests, there really aren’t that many places interested in reading second books. It feels harder this time than last, and that could be simple math – there’s just not as many places I can send. Fewer places are accepting open submissions; Copper Canyon’s contest for first or second books is on indefinite hiatus, Wave Books isn’t accepting subs til next year, Ausable decided not to read open subs this year, etc. Sign of the times?
