Q for authors: what fee should an unpublished author reasonably expect when submitting a short story to publications? I’ve seen a list, but the payment for acceptance seems wildly inconsistent. I know it’s not a guarantee my story would even be picked up, but I’m just looking for a bit of advice.

Cover of A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. Features seemingly infinite bookcases towering, and a figure in the negative space.
Reading this phenomenal story by Steven L. Peck. Anyone else give this one a read?

Excerpt: Spirit Fingers (working title)
A Short Story Tease
Hey! Brian posted an excerpt from one of his short stories, one that asks, "What if a scam-artist 'medium' accidentally summoned a smart-ass spirit?"
Please give it a read and let us know what you think!

Hilarious that someone went after that photo with the AI argument. Cripes.

Any book pals on here have any indie bookstore recommendations for near Port St Joe, FL, or NOLA? We’re on vacation and looking for fun bookish spots to hit up. No Name Books & Gifts in PSJ is on the list for Tuesday, as well as Sundog Books in Destin when we head to NOLA.

I love that people feel the need to attempt controlling everything about everyone. Cripes.
