Hey Congrats, Brent,
I am a fellow contributor to this issue. Just discovered the listing on Amazon, myself, so we should be seeing copies pretty soon! It doesn’t go live there until the title is at print stage.
Thanks for the indirect plug ;) Can’t wait to see it and get to read the stories. I’m thrilled to see the cover. David always gets such cool art!
Best,
Danielle

When you have a sufficient number of published shorts will you be able to put out a collection, or would it be hard to get permission from each publisher?
Brent Knowles
I own the rights to all the stories published. Generally when a magazine buys a story they are only ‘renting’ temporary rights, usually for six months, sometimes a year. After a story gets published I go looking for another market that accepts reprints (my story ‘Ragman’s Vow’ which was published last year will be appearing again next year in another magazine).
Down the road, I’ll be pulling a collection or two together. I’m also going to start work on a novel once I clear my backlog of ‘stories I really want to finish writing’.
