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!
