Short Story Marketing

Enthused by last week's story sale I managed to send out four shorts at the weekend.

I do admit that I'm very bad at marketing. My persistence is intermittent. I know as soon as a story comes back in I should turn it round and send it out again to a different market, but I tend to attack marketing by sending out batches of stories and then hanging on until most of them have dribbled back (which may be months) and then sending out another batch again.

I'm going to try and be more systematic about it this year.

It's not as if I write many short stories - I'm mostly too busy working on the next great unsold novel.

Which reminds me... the great agent hunt continues...
