Who Wants to Publish Your Short Stuff?

Published: Sat, 09/30/17



Greetings, writers,


This week we're pleased to present a guest post from Windy Lynn Harris, author of the publishing guide Writing & Selling Short Stories & Personal Essays: The Essential Guide to Getting Your Work Published, new from Writer's Digest Books.


In "Who Wants to Publish Your Short Stuff?" Windy shares with us some examples of the types of publications on the lookout for short stories, essays, and other short works, including consumer mags, lit journals, and newspapers.


She then offers a few venues at which you can put in some research to find the right spots for your work, including one close to our hearts here at WBN, The Review Review


"Great news," Windy writes. "Writers don't need a literary agent to participate in the process of submitting short prose.


"We can independently market our stories and land bylines that make us proud."


As many of you know, there are few better feelings than that!


Visit this week's post, "Who Wants to Publish Your Short Stuff?" to read Windy's tips & tricks. 


In the comments section, let Windy know if you have any burning questions about how to match your short writing to the right publication.


And while you're on our blog, don't forget: You have one week left to snag a free SIGNED copy of WriteByNight book coaching client Michael Ausiello's new memoir, Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies


Take the Micro Fiction Challenge for your chance to win!




Cheers,
David
