Thanks for the insight, Anke. Tim, I now recall hearing about the Amazon Kindle Singles program. I sort of remember that it is not open to just anyone, but I may be mistaken. Page counts are a bit silly in the […]

Anyone submit to Kemari and Tomara’s new lit magazine, Em Dash? For those of you who wander beyond the scope of flash fiction it is a place where you might find a home for other types of creative work. They accept poetry, flash fiction (yeh!), fiction (up to 3000 words), nonfiction, artwork, and photography. They are long time members of the…[Read more]

I hope this isn’t too far off-topic, Jon, but your original question reminded that at the end of last year author Amy Tan (“The Joy Luck Club”) announced the release of a new story that would only be available […]

  Well, I published it through Smashwords and posted it on Scribd about two years ago. I have links posted on my blog, but honestly I don’t think I’ve done anything to actively promote it in a year or maybe more. And I never did promote it heavily.
