Sale, sort of

  • Dec. 21st, 2007 at 9:52 PM
New web publisher AnthologyBuilder has accepted a reprint of my short story 'Moon Flu', which was first published in Oceans of the Mind in June of last year. Gardner Dozois gave it an Honorable Mention.

http://www.anthologybuilder.com/index.php

What that actually means is that anyone who wants to assemble (and purchase) an anthology from the fiction hosted on the AnthologyBuilder site can include my story, if they wish. There are royalty payments, though not large ones, obviously!

It's a neat concept and I wish Nancy Fulda every success with her project.

And an acceptance is not to be sneezed at.

(Actually I'm sneezing at just about everything right now, thanks to the head-cold-from-hell, but that's beside the point.)

Good deal! I'm watching Nancy's project with interest. I think it's a great idea; it's a wonder someone didn't think of it a long time ago.

Yes, it was a bit of a "D'oh!" moment when I heard about it from a friend. I like the idea that at least one of my stories will be available in this way -- and I shall be submitting others that are available for reprinting.

I don't think any of us will make our fortune ;-)

But I do think it's an excellent idea. And it's fun being in on (or near) the start of something new.

You mean a fortune to go along with the fortune I've received from the rest of my publishing? :) I'm just happy to have a story in there with so many great authors.

Happy Holidays!
