Short Story Connect discussion

Writing with Style (ie. http://ericjamesolson.com/2015/02/18/... ) will be taking submissions of flash fiction and novel excerpts to be featured on a new type of blog post, Writing as Art. If you are a writer interested in having your short fiction or excerpts from your longer fiction read and critiqued in a public forum, please send a brief email to ejamesolson1@gmail.com . No need to pitch an idea or anything like that. Just a simple email will do. Make sure to include the following:

•Your name
•Your story or excerpt (750 words or less…less is better) pasted in the body of the email (Sorry, but I’m not opening attachments. I’m dreadfully afraid of viruses)
•Title the subject line with the word “Submission” followed by the title of your story. Like this: “Submission: Godzilla vs. Batman”

I will be responding to all submissions and I will let you know if your story has been selected. All genres are welcome, but the focus will be on the literary merit of each piece. If I decide to feature your story, I will also include a short write up with bio information and a brief critique, a great opportunity for anyone looking to increase their visibility.

So, what are waiting for? Send your story to ejamesolson1@gmail.com and check in later this week when I announce the first title to be critiqued on Writing as Art. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for all of you who have already sent your stories and excerpts. I'll be taking submissions through 3/4. Look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks to all of you who submitted excerpts and short stories. There was a huge turnout but I was only able to select one. Check out the excerpt I picked and feel free to comment, like it, share it: http://ericjamesolson.com/2015/03/06/...
