Publishing issues

The pursuit of publishing my writing is evolving. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing provides a convenient platform, but I want to be published elsewhere, too. I am focusing my writing efforts on entering contests. Submitting published stories is a disqualifier for many competitions, so you will have to wait until I decide what stories are OK to share. With luck, I will add some prize-winning flash fiction and short stories to my portfolio. My big writing project is far from complete but is shaping up nicely.

        I will publish “low or no content” paperback books on amazon.com once in a while. These kinds of books are novelty or activity-oriented and make ideal gifts. I currently have two of this style of book for sale:

“From the Bed to the Road: a Memoir by: _____” – a get-well card style journal.

“You do Haiku: a Poetry Tutorial and Workbook” – to inspire writing haiku for entertainment and mental health.

        What activity books or kinds of stories do you enjoy?

More news and creations are on the way!

Best Wishes,
