ShortStops

As a short story writer and lover, I was delighted to hear from writer Tania Hershman and her new initiative ShortStops,  here's what she had to say....

'I was fed up with the myth of the poor, beleaguered short story when I know just how much short story activity, how much short story excitement and how much short story talent there is in the UK & Ireland. So I decided to give the short story a little razzle dazzle of its own by putting it all in one place!'
