However, there are other advantages to online exhibition, if your story is chosen. Additionally, as collectedstories is not a vanity press, you gain the added prestige of having your story included in a collection which represents the best of all stories submitted. Finally, inclusion in the collection provides an opportunity to obtain feedback from readers, a most valuable tool in developing and honing your craft. Exhibition in our collection could lead publishers to consider your material previously published. However, with stories, publishers sometimes prefer that they first be published in literary journals.
Journals come in many forms.
Some look like paperback books, others like newsletters or magazines. Still others use the online environment to present a small world of current literature. If you wish for your story to be considered for the collection, please fill out the following form in its entirety. Submissions are accepted on a revolving basis, and you may submit more than one story. If your story is chosen for the collection, it, along with your writer's bio, will be featured in storytime for a limited period.
