I am currently putting together a collection of short stories written by new, undiscovered authors. My idea is to put around 10 or so stories together in a kindle release. Any revenue would be shared equally. I am able to get the cover designed for free through my contacts. I think this will be a lot of fun. If anyone is interested, then please send your manuscripts to ianpaulyn att btinternet dott com (written like this to stop spammers). I cannot guarantee that your story will be included, as only the best will be chosen. With our collective efforts, it may be easier to get the book the exposure it will need for sales. By sending your manuscript to my e-mail (in whichever format is easier for you), you are confirming that you do own the copyright of the work. I will get the winning manuscripts proofread and edited, although I will keep the edits down to a bare minimum - I want the author to feel that what they have written will stay in the form they envisaged. Look forward to receiving your texts.

Apologies, but I should have said a little about myself. I currently work for an independent publishers, although this project is my pet idea to do in my own time. During my time there, I have worked as a project manager on many different series. I have had experience in the production, sales and reprographics departments. I have also edited, proofread and designed many different titles. To get an idea of the number of titles I have worked on, if you search for my name in quotes, "Ian Paulyn", in amazon.co.uk you will see a good selection. The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the majority of these books are children's books, but I feel the skills I have acquired over the last 15 years will enable me to handle this project successfully.

Thank-you to all who have submitted so far. Some of the short stories, although well written, are not long enough for this project. As I am looking to have only around 10 stories, I can only really consider stories over 4,000 words, with a maximum guide of around 10,000 words. My apologies - I should have been more specific.
