Marie Gourdet asked Roxane Gay:

Hi, My name is Marie Syndie Gourdet and I'm so in love with writing short story but I'm not sure where to start with my writing so people could be familiar with what I do. Im a senior in high school and soon I will be on my way to college. I sincerely need your advice. would you be able to help me understand where to start?

Roxane Gay You start by writing a good story, one you love and believe in. Then, you submit your work to magazines where it might be read. Rinse and repeat. Some resources for learning more about which magazine might be a good fit for your work include Duotrope, New Pages, and The Review Review.
