Got a phone call from the literary editor of The Sunday Tribune, they're going to publish my short story, presumably this weekend as they always do their fiction first Sunday of the month.

In Ireland, that's very a respectable place to get your work published and leaves you open to being shortlisted for the New Irish Writing Awards, which I was the previous time I got published there.

Cool! I wish there were newspapers in America that would do this. Good luck on a possible award nomination!

Thanks again :)

re the US - surely there must be one magazine / newspaper in the whole US that would do that? :)

Great news, Susan! Does the story go on a website so we can see it here on the other side of the pond?

Congratulations! I'm going green, and not in a good way.

Why don't more papers publish original fiction? I guess they need the room for the ads.

No worries - given my success rate and frequency, I suspect I will be dining out on this for quite a while.

I am shortlisted, btw, but the prize isn't awarded till April 2009.
