Amazon Shorts Program

I applied to the Amazon Shorts program, and was pleased to receive this response from one of their editors:

[Tara], fantastic story — apologies for the length of time it took to
respond, but I hope I can make it up to you by letting you know that I am
thrilled to admit you to the program.

So I’m in! I sent off the paperwork this morning.

Whatever is the deal with Amazon Shorts? It’s a fairly new program. According to SFWA, the list of authors who have given it a shot is fairly impressive.
