Advice on where to submit

[franksauer]

Good morning Steve,
I joined here and look at DarKush mostly for the 5MM & exercise tips and your comments on your fiction. However, I've gotten interested in the writing aspect. Am working on a short-short, with another idea in mind.
My question is, where and how does one send off an unsolicited manuscript. I'm aware that the story must match the publisher's wants or needs, but I just don't know where to start in making a match between story and which publishers to send to.

Thanks,
Frank Sauer

this is where research comes in. Where do you read the short storie you like? And you should be readign at least ten words for every word you write. Pick up a copy of WRITER'S MARKET, which will give you a lot of hints. also try the largest magazine stand in our city, and the largest library. Research, research, research. there are also internet magazines. As long as they pay money, you will eventually get the kind of feedback you need.
