When I was applying I had one or two such stories I thought were pretty good and then a handful of shorter (one to 5 page) more experimental pieces. Saying "send the best work" makes loads of sense, but it wasn't easy for me to determine whether a one page weird prose poem was better than a 15 page domestic realism story of mine. <BR/><BR/>In the end I went largely by what the schools requested. If they asked for "two stories no exceeding 40 pages" I sent my two long stories. If their guidelines were looser ("up to 30 pages max" no story amount requirement) I sent one of the domestic realism stories and then a handful of other stories in different styles. I think I was trying to to showcase my range.... though I honestly have no idea if writing programs care about this. I could even see them looking down on a varied manuscript. I could see them loving it too though. I've never seen anyone say which is preferred. <BR/><BR/>Although I like TK's idea that sending the same pieces everywhere will make you not second guess yourself later, I think it again depends on the situation. Like I said, I couldn't easily call two of my stories the best given that they were all in different styles and about different things. And as has been pointed out on here recently, different programs quite clearly have different preferences. If I could do it over again I would probably tailer my submissions more, as M. said.Lincoln Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753693348052339982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-70294620277263683262007-08-27T16:35:00.000-07:002007-08-27T16:35:00.000-07:00As a follow-up, is it okay if your sample is a few...As a follow-up, is it okay if your sample is a few pages over the requested amount?Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610200013281946970noreply@blogger.com
