I’m about to embark on a self-publishing debut of my short story Sacred Fire. In 2010 it received an Honorable Mention from Speculative Literature Foundation and Writers of the Future.
Finding a suitable publishing home has proven difficult and some of that could be because it doesn’t slot neatly into any particular genre.
So I find myself looking at the self publishing route as I believe this story deserves to be out in the world. If I was cashed up, I would turn it into a short film, as it’s visually stunning, stark, raw and hard hitting. Any keen film makers interested in taking on my project? ++Just putting it out there 
Sacred Fire is set in the Holy City of Varanasi, India (a very special and favourite place of mine) and the protagonist, Delanna is at odds with her beliefs as Western and Eastern cultures clash. Delanna is faced with a moral dilemma, while on the surface appears cruel and fundamentally wrong, she has to dig deep into her heart which gives her the answer she believes will appease the Eastern culture and give saviour in the West.
Once it’s published I will let you decide if Delanna’s made the right choice
- Who’s had experience in self publishing?
- Any tips/advice for me?
