Published in London

This is really a great day for me, since a few hours ago i was notified that a weekly english newspaper (of the diaspora) will publish a short story of mine.

The short story is 4 pages long, the paper sells- i read- around 7K copies each week.

This is my fourth ever printed story in a periodical or paper. But it is the first time i go outside of the borders of Greece. I am very happy :)

Oh, congrats, man.

I'm jealous :D.

No, seriously here's to a great future! :thumbs_up:

Thank you Kiki :D It does mean a lot to me. I hope more publications in that paper or others of London will follow (i can dream anyway)...

Congratulations !! Any chance you could reveal the name of the newspaper?

Sure, but only after the actual publication (said to be tomorrow) ;)

Good news. It's nice to hear of people doing well.

Getting published is hard enough for a native speaker; for you to have done it as an ESL person really says something about your work. Congratulations!

Thank you both :)

However the story will still be in Greek, since the paper is bilingual (Greek and English). I am not sure if they will have a translation of it, if they do i will link to their online version of the paper.

Also i had to send one of my best works, and in retrospect i doubt they would have accepted anything else. The first steps are by far the most difficult ones, which is also why many authors produce their best work early on- they need to, so as to break through to the public.

Exellent Kyriakos!! What is the name of the publication (it's today!) as I am in England this week.

That's brilliant Kyriakos, well done.

Just been notified that the online copy will go public this Sunday. The printed paper is already out...

But i am pretty sure it only can be found in London.

You can have a look at the online copy this Sunday (i will post the address then; better safe than sorry i guess since this is the first time i am being published outside this country...) :)

Hi Kyriakos - what is the name of the publication? And you can write it or say it in Greek, my assistant is Greek - looking forward.

On Sunday it will have the online edition. If you are in London you can have a look, it circulates already there.

Congrats, Kyriakos! Well done! :hurray:

Thank you Mona (And Prendrelemick) :)

So, has anyone actually glanced at it? (if you are in London). Still anxious to see the online version this Sunday, and then get the actual paper in a couple of weeks...

I am back in Cayman, but will look at the online version.

I think you are being messed with. LOL! Congradulations! That is good news indeed!

It is in page 23, but i think there is only the greek (original) text, and not an english translation. Oh well :)
