I provide merit badges for curiously specialized skills—right now I'm focusing on writers & readers. Who decides if you've earned a badge? You, and only you. If you want to show off what you've earned, you can post a badge on your website or blog. Updates every weekday.

Top of the slush pile.
The “top of the slush pile” merit badge lives somewhere between your first rejection and first sale.
Earn it by getting positive feedback and personalized rejections instead of form rejections.
You may not be out of the slush yet, but hey—you’re making progress.
Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.
