On Saturday, I had a second acceptance. This wasn’t for a paying market, but I’m still very pleased. Martin is, in his short form, finally getting published somewhere. On May 25th, The Wolf at the Door, the short version of Liz & Bob that I read at Illicit Ink last year, will appear on Flashes in the Dark. Flashes in the Dark is a flash fiction site that serves up a daily morsel of horror.
I’m pleased that someone liked my story enough to share it with their readers but I’m also pleased that I found out just in time to add it to my list of publications before submitting a story for Story Shop.
Story Shop is part of the plan. I’m hoping (fingers crossed, wood knocked on, superstitions engaged) that they’ll take my story so I get to read at Edinburgh International Book Festival. It would be the coolest thing ever.
Oh well done!
I haven’t looked into Story Shop yet… need to get a move on with that!
Congratulations!
By the bye, only today did I realise that self-publishing is not just about war-veteran memoirs any longer! http://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/12/05/14/0414219/ridley-scott-loves-hugh-howeys-wool
