: Re: Where to find a place to publish a specific kind of work? I've written some stories about my adventures in the wars. I don't think they're Hemingway caliber, but I don't think they're bad.

First, figure out the bare-bones general description of what you've written. From what you've said, I assume it would classify them Non-fiction military short stories.

I hit Google with 'non fiction military short story', and got the following links on the first page: Goodreads 'most popular military non-fiction' and Goodreads 'best modern day military accounts', 'How To Write A Story That MEA Will Publish' at militaryexperience.org, and 'Nonfiction Short Stories - 3:AM Magazine' at3ammagazine.com (along with a few other less helpful links). Try some similar searches, such as substituting 'army' (or whatever branch you served in) instead of 'military', adding 'magazine' if that's the kind of publisher you want, etc.

If you are looking for potential publishers for a book (a collection of short stories), try looking for books that are the same kind of non-embellished military non-fiction short story collections, on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., and see if there are any books in that niche. If so, see who published them: you now have the name of a publisher that prints that kind of book.

And thank you for your service!
