IWW Members' Publishing Successes



Wayne Scheer

My Short Story, "Stepping Out," critiqued in Fiction a while ago, has been accepted for publication by The Sunlight Press.

They like stories that offer hope amidst darkness,and pay $25. The editors are good and personable. The only drawback is it's not for impatient writers. They take about two months to get back to you and there's a publication backlog of more than six months.

Two more short stories of mine, "The Affair" and "Road Trip," has been accepted at The Literary Hatchet at $10 each.

I knew this writing gig would pay off eventually.

Two of my best stories, both of which were critiqued and vastly improved by the Fiction group, have recently enjoyed further publication credits.

"Joran's Song," which was a winner last year at the Eden Mills Writers' Festival, Read at the Fringe event, has been published in Pulp Literature.

There is a fee for digital or print copies but the journal is worth looking into as they pay quite well ($100 Canadian, making this my most lucrative short story).

"Hoar Frost" has been reprinted by Bandit Fiction. The story won an honorable mention in a Canadian contest last year and was published alongside the other winners in a print-only anthology.

Although Bandit Fiction does not pay, I'm relieved that the story is available to an online reading audience for the first time.

My review of The Book Of Extraordinary Impossible Crimes and Puzzling Deaths, a short story collection edited by Maxim Jakubowski, has been published by the Internet Review of Books.
