If your short story is more than 10 word document pages long, like maybe 20- 25 pgs, where can it be published

Most publishers go by word count rather than page length. About the maximum page length you're going to see accepted is 20,000 words. If we assume a page is around 600 words (which is about the maximum in 12-point times new roman), that means that the maximum amount of pages you can have is around 33.

Here's one contest I know that looks for 20,000 word stories:

That's the only one I know of. Finding contests that are for more than 8,000 words is really a challenge. I hope this helps you!

Take a look at the 2008 Novel and Short Story Writers Market (Writers Digest Books, 2007)--it's a good starting point for who accepts what, what format the document should be in, etc. Most public libraries will have a copy, or just take a look at your local bookstore.

check out chapteread.com - it's a writing site and they explain publishing - there is a link called the "publishing process" and it's at the top of the site -- can't miss it!

uhmm... I read a short story that's 30 pages long and it's published in our school textbook. idk, not sure but star for you!
