Hey guys...
I'm a young writer, in my teens, and have a couple of short stories on the back burner and some finished. I was thinking of beginning to send them out to different markets, if only to begin collecting rejections slips, but I'm a bit unsure about market terms.
Some of my stories fit into a genre- they are sci-fi or horror, perhaps, and I know to seek out those markets. But a lot of my writing is not genre-specific... its just, you know, a "story," in a contemporary setting with people in it... no specific romance or sci-fi elements.
Is this considered literary fiction? Do I seek out literary magazines? Or is this contemporary fiction?
I'm a little unsure, and much help would be appreciated. I want to begin sending these babies out.
Thanks for the help!
