I forget if you can share manuscripts directly here on Shard but feel free to DM for my email! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not opposed to submitting it elsewhere, I'd just rather take the guaranteed, faster route of having my work out there. 2 hours ago, Silk said: Okidoke.

Basically, putting it on Amazon with no support will guarantee you no sales. Fortunately, I run a small press now, and I think this is a good story! I can work with you on final edits, get a good cover, and include this in my lineup of releases for 2023. It will get a lot more exposure. If that sounds like a good idea, we can talk. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9 Would anyone be keen to read a short story I've been working on? I've had a bit of trouble with writers block with this one, so I've only just finished a draft for it. I was hoping to enter it into a short story competition which closes in a few days (5pm AWST 15th of March), so a quick turnaround would be appreciated. It's a touch under 1100 words (max is 1200). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, normally I would be all over this, but its a busy week for me this week. If you send me a copy I could give it a look tomorrow but i understand that that is extremely close to the deadline 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
