To best understand your three options, I recommend reading this online article: http://bookpublishing.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_publish_a_book_in_canada

This article focuses on the Canadian marketplace, but the information could be easily applied to the American marketplace as well. We’re both pretty much the same. Reading the above article will help you to pick the best publisher for you.

Before any reputable publisher will be interested in a book of your stories, you’ll have to establish a track record by publishing individual stories in various magazines. The book "Writer’s Market" (your local library might have a copy) is one good source for information about journals that publish short stories. This website is another source:

Make sure your stories are the best they can be and send ‘em in to the publishers.

Good luck…
