OK, Here's the next piece of unsolicited advice. You seem to be comfortable writing in several different lengths. How about finding a subject to write a NEW work in a short story length, then submit it to Jim Baen's Universe magazine.
Since JBU is online, submission is online (there are Best Of books for each of the first two year's editions published in paper though) via two different formats. One is literally a "mail it in" submission, the other one is a post it on the appropriate slush board at Baen.com. If you're good enough (and what I've read so far is at least as good as some of the stories that have been published this year) you'll get a author's bio in which you can point back to your other works. And JBU pays professional rates too.
Even if you only submit to the slush, and are not selected for the magazine, there is a steady group of reviewers for JBUSlush, who might be interested in seeing more of what you write. And they give good feedback too.
