ABOUT | Short Fiction

Short Fiction is a high-quality online journal (previously also in print, since 2006), publishing some of the finest short stories from around the world.

Many of our authors are long celebrated; others we’ll take credit for as our discovery. We also publish original art work, as we enjoy the possibilities of dialogue between literature and the visual arts, and want to support all forms of artistic practice.

Our back issues feature work by Kevin Barry, Helen Oyeyemi, Kit de Waal, Colin Barrett, Benjamin Percy, Marina Warner and others.
