An interesting challenge.
It's among the most demanding of literary forms, requiring the narrative strengths of the novel compressed into 5,000 words or fewer to deliver a complete and satisfying experience that can be had in a single sitting. That's what drew such notables as Edgar Allan Poe to practice, experiment with and innovate in the art of the short story.
Where can you practice and perfect your own skills in one of the most demanding and rewarding literary forms of all time? Right here. Check out Focus on the Short Story today!
