  • Short stories down the (BBC) tube

    BBC Radio 4 has been a fantastic champion of the short story and short story writers for many years. It provides one of very few opportunities in the UK for both new and established writers to have their short stories broadcast to a large national audience, and for radio listeners to enjoy readings of the…

  • Spineless Wonderful

    Spineless Wonders is a handsome website that ‘stands up for Australian short stories’! It’s new, so there’s not a lot of content, but there is a lot of promise.

I’m afraid my story, Number 3 Raw Place, did not meet the reviewer’s taste, being described…

  • This & this

    It’s been brought to my attention (hiya Ellen!) that if you’re using the Back & Next buttons to read posts on this blog, you will occasionally be told the upcoming post is protected & therefore unavailable until you log into LJ. Which, obviously, not everyone in the world can do. I just wanted to assure…
