I've published in print anthologies and in Ezines. Not much money but the prestige with some of them offsets getting a lot of money. For instance, I have a second story coming out in Spinetingler in early 2010 and the idea of having a high profile Ezine like that putting my stuff out there is worth more than mere bucks.<br />
Send it to some of the Ezines out there. Not only do you earn fans, but you have a good chance of some of the greats reading your creations, as well as some agents. Feed-back…

It's almost as bad with Amazon Shorts, but there you get a bit of exposure and readers are referred to your other books.

Go for it! When I sold my first short story to an anthology (well, "sold" is the right word since I only received royalties), my first check was $15. Second check was less than that. The final check was $.25 and when I took it to the bank, the teller laughed at me and said, "Are you serious?" I said yes indeed. "I want my quarter."<br />
<br />
Good luck.

That's a good sign. You should try to make sure each story you send Janet is better than your last. And if she gives you any indication what she didn't like about the story, send her a letter back with a suggestion on how you can fix things. I went also from personal rejections from Janet to being published in both EQMM + AHMM, but I made sure that when I got that first personal rejection that the next story I sent her was the best I could do.

Do you mean cable or network TV? Chances are the level of on-screen violence on network TV is very close to what's in the magazines.<br />
<br />
Cable, of course, is quite different.

I've never understood this problem some have with EQMM and AHMM. I publish with AHMM and I do exceedingly violent scenes at times. The language is clean though. Not much swearing in Japan.

What's strange is that the violence on television crime shows far exceeds most anything in print. Same for sex, kinky or otherwise. I don't think there would be a problem if there was bigger and more diverse market.
