One of the hardest things about an aspiring writer getting their ship out the hangar is pushing their stuff into people\u2019s attention.\u00a0 Authors all know that there\u2019s already so much out there, that if you\u2019re following that goal, you\u2019ve got to be aware of the futility of screaming into the void.<\/p>\n
But the internet is not some void or vacuous abyss.\u00a0 It\u2019s often the opposite, with depths that\u2019re full of inspiring and\/or provocative gems, and I can think of few better missions than bringing those to surface.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019ll be posting a short story spotlight on this page once a week.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to read at least 2 shorts by a NEW, PREVIOUSLY unpublished author every day, and starting next week, I\u2019m going to be putting a spotlight on my favorite story, every Saturday.\u00a0 Then I\u2019m going provide the tale, and a critical blurb about why it stands out.\u00a0 I\u2019m also going to be happy to include a small bio of the selected author, if they\u2019d like.\u00a0 My hope is that over time, this will help contribute an online focus towards those who are working hard towards earning it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who this is for:<\/strong><\/p>\n You must NOT be traditionally published previously.<\/p>\n Your short story must be less than 10k words.<\/p>\n All genres are fine.\u00a0 The more any writing provides what is technically called \u201cthe feels\u201d the more likely I am to talk about it.<\/p>\n Fee?<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course not, this\u2019s absolutely free.<\/p>\n
