Short story publishers? Anyone?

Question

I checked out Preditors and Editors (which was a little helpful) but I need a publisher interested in short stories. All the ones I keep finding are ony interested in novel-length works or journalism.

Answer 1

A short story is a form of short fictional narrative prose. Short stories tend to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the modern sense of this term) and novels. Because of their brevity, successful short stories rely on literary devices such as character, plot, theme, language, and insight to a greater extent than long form fiction.
Short stories have their origins in the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point, with parallels in oral story-telling traditions. With the rise of the comparatively realistic novel, the short story evolved as a miniature, with some of its first perfectly independent examples in the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Edgar Allan Poe.

Answer 2

The short story genre is all but dead and gone. There is simply not much market for it today. Literary magazines still do incorporate some of it but it's few and far netween. Unless you write New Yorker style literary work, you can pretty much chuck the short story these days.

Answer 3

Have you taken a look at the book Writer's Market yet? They can point you in the direction of many journals, magazines, and other publications that would suit whatever genre your story is in.

Answer 4

if you're writing in the horror / dark fiction / science fiction genres, there are many, many markets for selling your short stories. Check out www.ralan.com for a very comprehensive and up-to-date list of current markets (magazines, anthologies, etc.)
