Twitter Market

I found a market for my little twitter tales!

They pay pro rates, but since the stories are tweets (ie 140 characters or less), "pro rates" in this case means $1.20, well below the SFWA $50.00 minimum to be considered a pro author.

I don't care. If I can get published here, maybe I can get my longer fiction published elsewhere. I have 14 novels and nearly 100 short stories done and languishing.

OK, truth be told, they all need to be edited, most probably need to be re-written (especially the never-ending short story that now has 1,008,200 odd words in it), and some may need to be completely re-vamped. I know they all need work of some sort. I've been a tech writer for decades and do well with factual information writing and it shows, oh it shows!, in my fiction writing.

Any acceptance is worthy of celebration. Congratulations! :)

I haven't been accepted yet, but I did submit one I haven't put up on Twitter.

Ah, but I've read your Twitter tales, and I bet acceptance is only a matter of time. Good luck. :)
