Some of my shorts are a bit shorter than 1000 words. Is that okay?

Hey there, I'm a longtime writer who made the jump into professional editing- what would the etiquette be for offering my services to the group?

Hello to all of my fellow writers. I've recently finished my novel and am trying to find representation. Finding an agent/publisher is hard for a first time author.

I have created a webpage with my poetry and short stories available. I will be adding more soon and keeping everyone updated on the status of my novel and the publishing world.

Please join my webpage and help support me. If I can prove I have interested people in my work I feel as though I have a much higher chance at success.

Looking to write a short story based on a married couple. Maybe it will read kind of like a diary. Scott is a tall, lanky business man, never able to put on any muscle and is married to Sara, a short, dark haired lady. She's a housewife, mother and a nationally ranked competitive bodybuilder.

Are you guys very picky about short stories and stuff, or am I able to contribute some? I mean, they may not seem like the best, though

FriiLance [2012-01-02 11:52:57 +0000 UTC]

I'm a bit confused... one of the rules is no prosetry, but would you categorise this as Prosetry? I'm not sure what prosetry exactly is, where is the line between that and actual prose, so i thought I'd better ask (:

pyrofired2 In reply to FriiLance [2012-01-05 03:04:02 +0000 UTC]

actually, the rules state that yes, prosetry is allowed in the group. Read the second rule on the main page again. Hope that helps

They need to be, I realize, but unfortunately the group owner hasn't been around for a while because of school. For now it's fine if you submit to the latest folder available, which is November/December.

Treo-LeGigeo [2011-03-10 06:20:10 +0000 UTC]

Um, I'm confused. You said in your rules of submissions that you "accept short stories, short short stories and flash fiction" but then say that "flash fiction/vignettes are not allowed." You also say that "short stories can be in between 1,000 ~ 20,000 words" and that "length of your short stories can be up to 2500 words long." So what do you accept exactly?

Hi there,

I'm currently the interim admin for this group until the actual admin is able to return. I'm going to message her about this and I'll get back to you.

Personally I go by the 1000-20,000 word rule, though, because that's what it's defined as in the publishing world.

There isn't a strict word limit, but keep in mind that short stories by definition run about 1000-20,000 words.
