You want to write fantasy—but publishing a novel too early is one of the biggest mistakes new writers make.

Short fiction is an underused, high-leverage path for fantasy writers to build skill, get published, and reach real readers before committing to a novel. In this video, I break down why Sword & Sorcery short fiction is one of the best entry points into fantasy publishing—and how you can use it to build a portfolio, develop craft, and start submitting your work immediately.

We’ll cover:

Why new fantasy writers should start with short stories, not novels
What Sword & Sorcery actually is (and why readers still love it)
How short fiction helps you improve faster and get published sooner
Where to submit fantasy and Sword & Sorcery short stories
Which magazines are worth your time—and which to avoid
How rejection works, and how to survive the submission grind

If you’re serious about becoming a fantasy author—and not just finishing a book—this video will show you a smarter way to start.

📚 Recommended reading includes Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Michael Moorcock, and modern Sword & Sorcery magazines.

✍️ Submit your work, build your skills, and stop guessing.
