    My dad just got one of his dreams accomplished by having his first short story published in an online journal! It had a workshop for the submitters to critique each other before it was published. So it was a lot of fun for him to be able to talk to other writers.

    The Submission Grinder is a great resource similar to Submittable - tracks average response times, etc. I think it's geared towards spec fic but it might have lit fic too

    This was a very interesting video and I definitely want to see more about short stories and publishing, traditional or otherwise. I need to rewatch your skill share class as, even though it is more expensive from what I can gather, I think self publishing sounds like a route I will go down if I ever make it that far (just need to figure out how to build an audience).

    I have sort of like self-written novels, I like to write stories...I also produce music, not a producer...I feel "PRODUCER" is a big word as opposed to just say I'm an audiophile who knows moderate to intermediate "SOUND ENGINEER" been doing it for almost 20 years now, know any recoding software application and I'm infatuated with sound mixers buuuut....I love to write short films to long stories, I think about myself as a creative person... originally I wanted to become a writer since I started writing songs and stories but then again I've always seem to be caught up in the ignorance of not knowing how the writing or publishing field really works....your video really helped me understand a short percentage of what self publishing might work for me....you're very BEAUTIFUL btw!!!! *_* THANKS Hannah!!! ☮️

    So if I publish a piece can I still put it in my short story collection later?
    Only if I self publish correct?

    • @HannahLeeKidder
      @HannahLeeKidder  3 года назад +4

      Yep! The typical reason pre-published pieces are an issue is that publishers don't want something that's already been out. Since you're the publisher, it's up to you.
      One other note is that some contracts have exclusivity clauses about how and when you can publish pieces once that publisher has. That's why in Little Birds, most of the pieces have a "previously published" note at the beginning of the story. It was something in the contract for a few of those original publishes, so I put it on all of them for consistency. ☺️

    • @HannahLeeKidder
      @HannahLeeKidder  3 года назад +1

      I've never heard of a publication not allowing pseudonyms? They'll probably want to know your actual name to confirm your student status, but as for the actual name it's published under, should be up to you.
