Oh here we go...my type of site...one that buys previously published stories...

Personally, I think the only thing better than selling a story is selling a story twice...OK, selling it three times is even better, but I'll let you know for sure if that happens... icon_smile

Check out this link...what have you got to lose? It means all stories posted here would be eligible... icon_smile

I submitted two stories to this site, my latest contest story and "Love Conquers All"...

Not sure what all the advantage is, they don't pay, but apparently their site reaches millions...so, there is potential fame involved...if not necessarily fortune... icon_smile

I should probably edit the original title of the thread...but, I think there are contests and possibly other potential income possibilities...too much reading at the moment...

Just want to point out that if you do submit to here, if you're like me you'll find that their automated submission form does not want to accept any of the ordinary known file formats...just e-mail your story to the editor...the e-mail address is on the site...a Word doc is alright...

They wrote me back and said that was fine...

Thank you so much Louise for your kind words...it means a lot that people appreciate it, or that they even bother to read any of these postings in the first place... icon_smile

Btw, I post these links over on Facebook as well...which you already know of course, my FB friend...but, I also post links to submission calls of a more, um, "adult" nature that I can't post here on this fine, family oriented story site...

So, if anyone may be interested in the additional links, feel free to add me over on FB...I'm there as Alan Jankowski...you'll recognize several of my FB friends there from being over here on SS anyway...

Yeah, I think it's nice that people here are taking the opportunity to actually send stuff in to some of these submission calls...hey, you never know and it's nice to actually make a few bucks from something you do for pleasure anyway...
I know Lisa just added a thread where you can post links to stuff you sold, or links to your own blog or site...as long as it's not a competing story site, of course... icon_smile

I know I managed to sell a few stories this year, and I know I'm not alone in that respect here on SS...I know of at least two others here who have sold stories this year...

Hey, you may not become the next Stephen King or J.K. Rowling, but I can tell you for a fact that it feels good when someone drops a few dollars into your PayPal account for something you had written anyway for the fun of it...

Who would want to be the next Stephen King anyway? Having to answer all that fan mail all day...jeez, I'd never get anything done... icon_smile

Again...best of luck to everyone here on Stories Space in all you do...
Cheers,
Alan.
