Writing Short/New Mystery Imprint


Writing Short

“Short” is in. Two weeks ago, I wrote about flash novels and shared a flash novel contest. Novella markets are growing. Flash fiction now has more paying markets than it did four years ago. For the beginning writer or for the writer short (pun intended) on time, writing “short” is a great option. You may not earn a lot per piece, but the rate per word is often very good.

Pamelyn Casto publishes a free monthly newsletter devoted to flash fiction and flash markets. To subscribe to her free e-mail newsletter, send an e-mail to FlashFictionFlash-Subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Dutton Guilt Edged Mysteries is an imprint of Penguin that publishes modern crime and detective fiction between ten thousand and fifty thousand words. The imprint is being relaunched in 2012 as a yearlong special imprint and will publish crime short stories and novellas as eBooks.
