We’re excited about what’s going on with the short story in the UK & Ireland – it’s in print, it’s online and it’s live! Check out our blog for the latest news, calls for submissions, new lit mag issues, live events, short story competitions & workshops… and have a read of the listings of literary magazines that publish short stories, live lit events where short stories are read and contemporary authors of short story collections, as well as more short story links … !
