Short Stories?
After having 13 books published, including 2 novels, I've just written my first short story.
I know little or nothing about this market.
Any suggestions as to where I might submit it?
I'm talking, of course, about a publisher (either print or on-line) that pays a fee.
Thanks.
To answer your question(s), I've been writing for 35+ years.
I decided to try my hand at a short story because I didn't feel like starting a bigger writing job at the moment, and I'd been carrying this story around in my head for years.
I enjoyed the experience, and I may do some more.
Hi Druxy. Thanks for replying on my questions. Do you have an official website where i can view all your books? I'd like to browse your site some time this week. I feel like checking out author sites these days. I hope to have one soon. Well, hopefully.
Hi Druxy! Wow, you've published 13 books! How did you do that? Anyway, i was just curious, why did you decided to shift to writing short stories? How long have you been writing?

Here's a list on where you can submit your short stories:

Typical pay: $15-$20.
They also give you a chance to win cash prizes up to $2000.
