GORDON, Australia - Feb. 18, 2015 - PRLog -- Amazon's Kindle Unlimited is popular with some authors, and less so with others. Authors are testing the program with works of various lengths. Shorter ebooks are popular with readers in some genres.

This means that for the first time in half a century, professional authors are writing short fiction, and selling their stories.

For new authors, shorter works mean that they can learn their craft by publishing quickly. Unlike novels which can take months to write and publish, short stories can quickly win readers, and build an author's confidence.

Established authors can also win new readers. Regularly producing material boosts the visibility of an author's entire catalogue, and leads to more sales.

A serial, or a series of short stories, can also help authors to test their ideas, without spending months on a work which makes few sales.

Writing teacher Angela Booth says that writers have never had as many opportunities as they do now. Fiction's a big opportunity. However, short fiction's a challenge for writers, both long-established writers, as well as new writers.

She says. "Students asked for a workshop in writing and publishing short fiction, so I created Story Power: Write and Sell Short Fiction to help them to get started."

Story Power is available now.

Angela also created a free short report, "Short Stories For Fun And Money: Write Short Fiction"  for authors who are new to crafting satisfying short fiction.

When asked about the longterm viability of short fiction, Angela responds: "Some readers will always prefer novels. However, the market for short stories was there before the Kindle Unlimited program, so I think the future's bright."
