I so wish I'd published my short story "For A Smile" anthologies in paperback but I was completely daunted by the technology of the process. I was lucky enough to have lots of success with the e-book versions but am sure sales and promotional opportunities would have been so much greater with a "real" book! xxLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580243616937466192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-56037337865200990212014-11-21T23:57:37.584+00:002014-11-21T23:57:37.584+00:00Absolutely, Suzanne.Absolutely, Suzanne.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-3210448451181640282014-11-21T23:51:11.514+00:002014-11-21T23:51:11.514+00:00Great post, Wendy.

Some friends and I have self published 3 books of short stories so far. I really enjoy reading and writing short stories. There's something very satisfying about fitting a complete story into a 5 minute read (sometimes coffee breaks seem to be the only time I can spend reading these days!)Janice Johnstonhttp://www.litereight.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-45536611031733776122014-11-18T18:38:36.232+00:002014-11-18T18:38:36.232+00:00A wonderful post, Wendy.

The relationships forged from such interactions gives a community such a positive and heartfelt feeling. Makes everyone's life and business worth having. Long live the small community.
