SpecFic Short Story Writers
Short stories are my favourite medium and should be celebrated more. Spotting a short story section in a bookshop is exciting! My local library has a short story section. Online, there are loads of great publishers. Speculative fiction (I like the term 'wonder fiction') is my favourite genre.
