I published dozens of articles but only one ever earned more than five or six dollars in three years.<br /><br />I don't think the poem will bother anything. It's in the public domain. I'd love to see your story on Smashwords or Kindle :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454406837183787620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891001968149686306.post-64059213635530348932011-12-15T21:33:54.668-06:002011-12-15T21:33:54.668-06:00JR, such a wonderful story it is.

I published my Christmas story, The Mice Before Christmas ( http://voices.yahoo.com/the-mice-christmas-10471013.html?cat=44 ) on Yahoo as a contributor. I haven't taken any steps in doing anything else with it because it has a famous poem in it. I am still very new to all of this and this article helped me learn a bit more, so that I soon can be on my way to being published.

I'm pleased your experience was a positive one, but you know, upload and publishing a 100,000 word novel is no different to a 2,500 word story.<br /><br />I use MS Word (1997-2003), and the key is in formatting the doc in Word. As long as all that is correct, it uploads and publishes in a matter of minutes.<br /><br />I also publish on the Kindle and I find SW far less taxing than KDP, for which you really need to format an html doc in advance.<br /><br />Good luck to you, hope your tale sells well<br /><br />DavidDavid Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000338117685929780noreply@blogger.com
