Search duotrope.com and you'll find publishers looking for just that on an ongoing basis. There are also themed anthologies looking for erotic stories. I'm writing a new blog post about finding markets for short stories. I'll post it in the next day or two. Let me know how it goes. and good luck!

Kindle publishing is a great way to put work out there, but unfortunately unless you have a way to market your work, you may not get the level of feedback you're looking for. I wonder whether you've tried submitting specifically to anthologies or themed magazines? They tend to respond more quickly than other markets, since they have a firm cutoff date. Also, since you know precisely what type of story they're looking for, you can get a better sense of whether it's the subject matter, style of writing, or something else holding you back. You won't want to hear this, but having a critique or writing group can help. I'm more into online options, and recently discovered Book Country as a good option for putting my work in front of a smart community of writers. It's free, but you have to critique to get critiques. Keep it up. Remember, we get better with everything we write. I'm making up a new blog post about submitting short stories, since I know a lot of us are struggling with finding the right place for our stories. I know how you feel.

Choosing any kind of scaffolding to begin a story idea can be enough to allow that talent to be expressed. Talent can only do so much, you also need to put in time and effort.

Talented writers don't need a prescription to produce great works.

I have been working on short stories for some time and have a collection of rejection letters to show for them. But have been told that my writing is very good. So this option was mentioned to me. Before signing up, I thought I would look for people with opinions, like yours, and see what YOU had to say. Thanks for this.
