Learn How To Submit Short Stories

By Jerry Murray


The internet is the ideal place for anyone who wants to write for fun or as a new career. From reporting local news to blogging to writing social media posts for business, there are many ways to earn money on a full or part time basis. Another area to consider is to write and submit short stories that are published in a number of mediums.

Unlike traditional publishing houses, the web has many places to use full length, as well as excerpts, in many types of sites. It is easy for anyone to research and locate opportunities for every type of writing. Trade periodicals, books, and online forums can provide submission leads and guidelines.

Gathering a list of possibilities and comparing the terms of compensation can help determine a match for the new writer. It may also be wise to write down some ideas that may be interesting to the reader but with a different twist than most stories. A simple draft can help with creating characters and settings that will be easy for the audience to follow.

Often finding a productivity style can be a challenge for the new writer, as well as some who are established. Some wordsmiths jot down ideas as they come to mind while others desire structure by using an outline for each scene or chapter. Either way, or a combination of ways, may work for someone who is finding their writing voice at the same time.

A good concept is often a believable story that has a realistic ending but has other unique factors. This can take from something that happened in real life, either from a personal perspective or something that occurred elsewhere. New writers may want to make name or location changes if there are other parties that may object to their real name being used.

It can be fun to come up with new characters that live fascinating lives, even if it is not entirely real. When something is well written, people will be able to identify with characters and their interactions. However, the objective is to make it believable because a character that likes to flaunt their wealth is not likely to willingly take public transportation or shop at dollar stores for clothing.

Both new and seasoned writers may find themselves so enthused by the story writing process that it may become lengthy. Fortunately, there are many ways to go with the submission process. If it is not possible to leave out pertinent details in order to meet the word count, it can be broken into a series of short stories.

Sometimes stories that have only a few hundred words can be used for marketing purposes. A short story with a happy ending can sell products or be used in brand engagement in order to build an audience or as online content. These days, the art of storytelling has many possibilities.
