Creative Writing-Publishing


                                                                                                 


Today I am briefly going to discuss publishing.   I have been in search of a publisher and an agent  this past month. Sadly from my research I have discovered that the majority of big house publishers and agents will not bother with authors who write short stories!

It's not worth their time and of course, money is involved.  So I have decided that perhaps I will go another route- the small independent publishers.

There are many small publishers which  have windows of time for submissions and so far they are closed  .  A word of caution- there are some  you need to be careful with.  I have been contacted by two indie publishers but they offered me nothing!  I would have had to do everything!.  I may as well continue  with  self-publishing .

I have a list of small indie publishers and I am going to contact them. My third book is completed and I would really like to go with a publisher that can offer me a little help.

So to all writers .....I will keep you updated.  If anyone has experience with small publishers please share.

Keep on writing!

Creative Writing-Fantasy

Creative writing is fun! Especially when writing fantasy stories. I get to let my imagination run wild.

The popular trend lately is vampires, science fiction, and  fantasy.  I don't care to write about violence with all the gory details. I prefer to create romantic stories mixed with magic and mind travel.

I currently completed a book with  one of those ingredients. Dimensional travel.

The Magic Herb has also that ingredient while Even Exchange has magic!

To all the writers out there....keep on writing

Happy April!!

Happy April to you all.

Spring is here. well not in the Poconos in PA!. I had snow on the ground and it was a shocker.

I want to thank those of you who had taken advantage of my March buy-one-get -one free book deal.

It was a success!  I may do it again over the summer.

I just finished a new book and plan to go the traditional way of publishing.  I will keep you updated.

I would love to hear from other new and seasoned writers how they are doing with their work.

Until next time-

Keep on writing
