But now, with ebooks I find I'm attracted to reading them often over full length novels. I'm hoping that contests and anthologies won't be the only forum for these, that readers will begin to choose them on their e-readers because they suit that format very well.

They're a new-ish publisher of romances - they used to do a print periodical but recently got into ebooks. Every month they have a different topic, and they pick 4 short stories to go out in an anthology. I've been in one and will have another come out in March. It's been a great way to learn about writing and about the process of publication.Liv Rancourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171029958375171223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-84721768339081216592012-02-06T17:49:26.373-08:002012-02-06T17:49:26.373-08:00Hi Cora, I had to type your name—it's my siste...Hi Cora, I had to type your name—it's my sister's, too! :) I've written a number of short stories, but haven't submitted many.

Your post is very motivating, and I think maybe ... after I get through my WIP ... I just might give it a serious try.Barbara Forte Abatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791031735377619076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687332317991077410.post-86002272246161897292012-02-06T13:17:13.071-08:002012-02-06T13:17:13.071-08:00I just added Kristen's post today.

I'll keep your comments in mind when I write part 2.
