Revolutionizing the publication of short stories for the internet age, online publisher Alfie Dog Limited has, through its internet site www.alfiedog.com, brought together quality stories from current writers across the globe. In the same way that mp3 files have transformed the music industry, publisher and author, Rosemary Kind, believes e-publishing can do the same for short stories. “If you can buy a single track of music for 69 pence, or cents, then why shouldn’t you buy a story for just 39 pence?”
The site draws widely published authors together from everywhere from North America to Asia, Europe to Australia, including me (under B.F. McCune), with a range of stories for a variety of tastes. Three formats of every story by www.alfiedog.com enable readers to use different e-readers, or print the story out to be read in the traditional fashion. With new stories being added every week, once readers are ‘hooked,’ they will be happy to come back for more, knowing they can find a reliable, good quality read. Authors receive royalties on their works that are purchased.
