Short story books are kind of hard sells when they are all by one author!. You would have a much better chance trying to get a few individual stories into anthologies!. I have two stories in a new anthology that just came out!. I did it as a donation because all the proceeds go to helping rebuild New Orleans libraries!. It doesn't make you a lot of money, but it does get you notice!. Pax-CWww@QuestionHome@Com

Writing is an extremely competitive art!. Ray Bradbury had his work rejected over 800 times before his first work was published! The key to being a successful writer is to keep improving your skills and to never give up!. It takes dedication!

Wow, talk about a vague question!. No offense, but to make a fair judgement, we'd have to know how good these stories are!. Anyone can get published if their writing is good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
