We do not accept unsolicited stories, of course, and the market for publication nationally is a true nightmare. You might look to resources near you. Some newspapers accept an occasional story, church and community bulletins may be a possibility. Writers you know may also be able to point you in the most useful direction. Best wishes for every success. WHC Thanks for your comment. We do not accept unsolicited stories, of course, and the market for publication nationally is a true nightmare.

It means a lot that you took the time to comment. I like your idea, and after we get the backlog pared down a little I want to give it serious thought on how it might be done well to be maximally useful. Until then, there are a couple things on site that might help that you might not have seen. First, on the blog there is a post on "Getting Started" that goes through some of the process for one story idea with multiple starts and comments http://storyinliteraryfiction.com/blog/2009/10/great-fiction-is-creative-not-intuitive-getting-started/ Second, there is a text I wrote for the site, <em>Literary Story as an Art Form</em>, where the second part is the development of a 2000+ word story. You can find it at this link: http://www.storyinliteraryfiction.com//books-for-purchase/ Best for all success in your writing. WHC Many thanks. It means a lot that you took the time to comment.

Thank you! I love the material on this site. :-) An idea. Would you ever consider posting some of your stories with annotated comments that revealed your creative thought process as you progressed through a story? In other words, open up the hood and show us exactly what you were trying to accomplish with the various story elements, theme, and so forth that shows how mere craft becomes a work of art. Even with the vast amount of material available concerning the mechanics of fiction, the thought process of an accomplished writer is still a mystery at times. Dave Another insightful piece.
