Thanks, David. Yes, for the time being, I'm trying to play both games. We'll see how all of this works itself out. A whole year? When the magazine goes off the shelves after 2 months? Arrgh!

Not foolish at all, I.J.<br />
I think trying a combination of traditional and indie pub is the way to go. As you say, if you get published with AHMM or EQMM you become award eligible (for now--this too will change in time), but I think, more importantly your work will reach a different, wider audience, one that might not find you otherwise. Sort of like free advertising you get paid for, plus with short stories the rights revert back to you usualky after a year or so, so you can put it up yourself…

And of course if they don't buy it, sell it youself then. A win-win all around, if you ask me.<br />
Good luck with it<br />

<p>Well, I admire the idea of sequencing the stories. The concept of releasing stories on Kindle at al. has been promoted by Joe Konrath. You are both absolutely right. The old system of submitting to a print publication is time consuming and gives you only a brief life span for your work. Putting it out electronically extends its life forever.

<p>Having said this, I have to admit that I've had a story with AHMM for more than 2 months now. Even if it's accepted, I'll have several more months before it will appear in print. But I like the story and keep hoping for an award somewhere along the line. Foolish, I know.</p> Thanks, I.J.
