A Podcast on Submissions Worth Hearing

March 12, 2018March 9, 2018 / Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 3 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I love podcasts. Below is one of my favorites. First, available from Brevity, this podcast features submissions – what makes, and an editor reject or accept a submission; when to submit, themes, and common mistakes.

So, grab a glass of wine, notepad, and enjoy this podcast on submissions. You can download it on Soundcloud, iTunes, or Stitcher.

I’d love to hear your comments. Talk to me. Tell me your story. I’m all ears and look for me on Facebook at SheilaMGood, Pinterest, Bloglovin, Twitter@sheilamgood, Contently, and Instagram. You can follow my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

Episode 35: Life in Repetition

February 17, 2016March 8, 2016 / Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 2 Comments

Check out No Extra Words Episode 35, featuring my story, # 2, Life in Repetition. My story starts around the 8:00-minute mark. But, please take the time to read the first story by Frederick K. Foote, Jr.’s “Blue-Black.” Excellent

.

Aren’t we all, to one degree or another, just putting on a show?

Frederick K. Foote, Jr.’s “Blue-Black” takes us to the heart of the Jim Crow South and leaves us wondering what the rules are. Copyright 2015 and used with permission, read for you by the author. Visit his website.

Happy listening,

This Week’s Stories to Share

November 18, 2015October 21, 2016 / Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 2 Comments

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
― Philip Pullman

Welcome to another segment of, Stories to Share. As writers, we all want to send our stories out into the universe. But, in world filled with writers, sometimes it seems our own work gets lost in the ever-growing sea of words. However, I believe each writer deserves their moment in the sun.

Stories to Share, is my way of shining the spotlight on writers and their work. I hope you’ll enjoy today’s list and encourage you to pay it forward. You’ll find more stories in the magazines and websites, in which, they are featured. Check them out.

First up, Episode 20 at No Extra Words Podcast, The Legend. Two stories make up this episode, “Achilles,” by Charles Rammelkamp, and “What We Talk About When we Talk About Homer,” by Marina Frances Mularz ( a particular favorite). I encourage you to check out the No Extra Words Podcast, meet the producer and editor, Kris Baker Dersch, and submit your own work for consideration. And, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you my story, Life in Repetition, is scheduled for episode 35, in February. I’ll keep you updated.
Duck Man, by Mary Ellen Lives ( a dear friend) is one of my favorite writers. Published in numerous literary magazines, I hope you’ll visit her website to check out the list of her published works. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy her exclusive short story.
And from one of my favorite magazines, Carve, the 2nd place winner of the 2015 Raymond Carver Contest, by Andrea Bobotis, Kudzu.
