[Ipg-smz] Seeking some self-pub help (for my flash length kids stories)

[Sally Wiener Grotta]

Daniel, I'm not sure what help or advice you are seeking. What specific 
questions do you have?

Of course, if you're thinking of submitting them to magazines, don't do 
a book. Most won't take previously published material, regardless of how 
it was published and how few people might have read it.

Best, Sally
