new story up!

I know a lot of you don't necessarily go out and buy an issue of a magazine just because I have a story in it, but in this case, it's very easy. "Lost Soul" is posted now at the Intergalactic Medicine Show, which means it's online. You can access the whole issue for only $2.50, and it provides quite a substantial amount of content for that price.

My backlog of sold-but-not-yet-published stories is finally shrinking back down to a reasonable size. Mind you, that means I should sell more stories. Which means I should submit more. Which means I should write more.

Maybe tonight. First, I'm going to go have dinner and watch some TV.

I've always wondered...how do you go about selling and getting short stories published? Is it basically the same for novels and other types of stories?

Not quite the same, no. I've got a piece on "How to Submit a Short Story" (http://www.swantower.com/marie/essays/business/subshort.html) up on my website, though I haven't yet gotten around to writing and posting the companion piece on what to do with novels. But it's a rather different ballgame; for starters, agents are almost never involved.
