I’ve found the blog Women’s stories: read, write, enjoy! invaluable for advice on this genre. If your writing fits into this genre – commercial in style, with a sympathetic main character (usually a woman) and a positive ending – then they are definitely worth considering. Are there any publications devoted to fiction?įor example, the UK has many magazines aimed at women such as “Take a Break”, “Woman’s Weekly” and “My Weekly” which publish a couple of short stories each week – and bring out a monthly collection of twenty or so stories. One good place to start is the magazine shelves of your local newsagents.

There are hundreds of magazines, e-zines and websites where short stories are published, and some pay professional rates. You will probably reach a wider audience with the former method, and you may receive some welcome remuneration, but the latter option gives you total control over when and where your work appears. Where to Publish Your WorkĮither you need to find someone else – probably a magazine editor – who likes your story and wants to publish it, or you need to self-publish. And your sweet story about your cat is unlikely to please the readers of “Tales of the Undead”, however well-written it is. If you’ve written a science fiction piece, you’ll have little luck submitting it to a magazine of Westerns. Whether you’re aiming for publication in a magazine or journal, or whether you’re planning to self-publish your work, you need to have a clear idea what genre the story is.
Without this, your work will read as an anecdote – interesting, perhaps, but not suitable for publication as a story. There also needs to be some conflict – whether between two characters, or just in a character’s own mind – at the start of the story which is then resolved by the time the story concludes. Questions to ask before trying to publishing your storyĮven when you’re writing from real life experience (as the reader who asked the question above was), your story needs to be well-shaped, with a beginning, middle and end. There are dozens of ways to do this, from entering writing competitions to submitting work to magazines to self-publishing, and I’ll discuss a few below. If you’ve got a stack of short pieces that you’ve written for your own enjoyment and that of friends, consider sharing them with a wider audience. A short story which is meaningful to you, which celebrates life and which is written with real spirit is much more likely to meet with success than a technically good story without meaning for the author. I’m really glad this reader writes from the heart.
