Metro - The promise of self-publishing: Kiana Davenport signs Amazon

 "Kiana Davenport faced a problem that many writers are familiar with. Despite being an award winning and bestselling author, her collection of short stories entitled “Cannibal Nights,” which she considered to be her best work, had been rejected for publication. “I had submitted them as a collection to all of the Big Six publishers in New York,” she told me, “but their response was uniform.  ‘Story collections don't sell.’  So these prize-winning stories sat in my files for a couple of years. It was utterly depressing. And I know many writers share this experience.”
