Publishing a Short Story

Post date: Jul 17, 2013 5:14:14 PM

Urged by writer friends to "just do it" I decided to publish one of my short stories, "River Run," on Kindle. The process was new to me, yet not so complicated as I thought it would be.  The system walked me through and I had two "false starts" that I "unpublished" before getting it right. Two tips I'd like to share for writers who wish to publish on Kindle are: 1.  Be sure to preview your work before publishing.  Make sure there are NO typos. I proofread mine about four times, and still, several typos were in the "preview" version. 2.  Really think about that cover.  I eventually hated my first cover and re-did it using a more suitable photo. My second photo choice had a feeling of movement  that expressed a sense of adventure.

Speaking of adventure, I hope you will enjoy "River Run."  The characters are quirky, and Maggie, an elderly, lonely woman, is as feisty as they come.

Enjoy the journey!
