One of my friends is really into writing short stories. She's an English major and the stories are very good. She's always looking for feedback on them, and was considering opening a blog or something so that she'd make a little money off the ads. But I was wondering if there was anything similar to Associated Content, but for short stories instead? If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated! Or if you do the blog thing, let me know how that works. She just barely got the internet and doesn't know web design or anything like that, but she does write some awesome stories.

I'm fairly sure Triond take stories as well as articles. I have a number of articles with them and have been very pleased by the steady royalties that come in. Worth having a look maybe?

I would suggest the "Writer's Digest Handbook of Short Story Writing." Writer's Digest specializes in providing information about where to sell writing, offering important information such as editor's names and how much payment a writer should expect and what the requirements are for submission. Very reputable. You can find the book on Amazon or Barnes & Noble and in most bookstores. Also, the magazine "Poets & Writers" has information on LEGITIMATE writing contests and journals that accept short stories. I buy the magazine at my local Borders store.
