#BookReview-‘Short Literature Pro Market 2019’ by @AuthorTCMichael

One of the nicest things about book blogging is being approached by authors to highlight their books.

Sometimes this is one way to get their short stories and books to a wider audience, especially when starting out as a self or independently published author.

So I am thrilled today to bring you a guide to getting your short stories published and read.

Written by author T.C Michael, this  is a short and sweet guide based on his own experience and market research into how to pitch your short stories for publication-as well as listing guidance on which publishers publish in specific genres.

Take it away T.C!

Short literature publishing tips from TC Michael:

1. Build relationships online and offline: with publishers, agents, other writers in your niche and industry, reviewers, bloggers, writing groups, and leave comments showing support.
2. Treat your writing like a business: Shift the way you think about your writing. You create a product, produce the product, pitch the product, sale the product, and gain from the product. You are the business and your writing is your product – fiction or nonfiction.
3. You DO NOT need an agent for 99% of any short literature – I any genre. Only use one if you already have one.
4. Submit first to publishers who accept simultaneous submissions and multiple submissions.
5. Edit your work 3 – 5 times before you ask others to read and edit your work.

So there you have it! And what about T.C himself? Read on…
