Noon Spool

Welcome

If you are here reading this you have been invited to submit a piece of short fiction to Noon Spool; or you stumbled here by accident. Either way, bookmark this site. Noon Spool will launch with the July edition.

The intention is to publish a monthly collection of short stories, that is stories that can be read in a single sitting, possibly over your lunch hour. Hence the 'Noon'. Obviously we publish on the web, and will provide information about our writers and links to their other work; gathering threads that our readers can follow. Hence the 'Spool'.

As a writer you might very well have your own site and be wondering why you would submit something here. Here's why. A piece published here, within six months to a year will be providing an unparallelled gateway for readers to reach you and your site. I was invited to join a 'webring' that proudly boasted it had sent two hundred clicks to one of its member sites. That site had been in the ring for over a year. Tim Cummings, who is the editor here, has promoted his own serial fiction site in less than six months to a faithful readership now averaging almost two hundred readers per day. That isn't two hundred click ins, it is two hundred readers; every day. That site has risen to a Google pagerank of four in less than six months. That means it shows up in the first couple pages of relevent searches, not a thousand pages down in the results. This site will do as well, or better.

So that is what this site is about. The submissions link in the sidebar is waiting...for you.
