I wanted to let you all know about a new market for previously published short stories. AnthologyBuilder allows you to choose short stories from their database in order to print a customized short story collection.
For those of you who have written short stories that have already been published, this is the perfect opportunity for you to offer your work to a wider audience.
And for you readers out there, AnthologyBuilder allows you to pick and choose only the stories you want to enjoy. The database allows you to view opening pages of each story so that you may make an informed decision.
They recently accepted my Pushcart Prize Nominated, award-winning short story "For Katie" and I am so pleased to have the opportunity to present the piece once again in print form.
Here is the Web address for you to submit your stories, or to select your custom anthology:

Hope this is beginning (rebeginning?) of a stellar writing career.
I'm still hoping you're able to get a publishing contract for Staccato.
I still want to read the rest of Staccato. have you finished it?
The anthology that won the award was submitted to the Indie Excellence committee by the publisher, Red Coyote Press. Anthologies are a great way to get your work out there while you're building enough stories to eventually offer as a collection to publishers. Collection publishers want to see that at least some of the stories have been published to add clout and prove that the collection will be received well. Anthologies don't pay well, but it is a publishing credit--something you really need when submitting queries to agents and editors for your novel or other stories you wish to publish.

Thank you for the friend invite, gladly accepted.
Congratulations, Deborah, and thank you for sharing this link. AnthologyBuilder just accepted my essay "Poet's Day."
They also accepted "Peter Parker's Aunt May Is a Goddess" and "Black Bear Skin." How much do I love AnthologyBuilder?!
