Long Story, Short: New literary journal launching soon

August 5th, 2012

In October 2012, writer Jennifer Matthews of the Munster Literature Centre, Ireland, is launching a new online publication called Long Story Short, which will specialise in short fiction between 4,000 and 9,000 words long.

Jennifer’s own work has been published in The Stinging Fly, Cork Literary Review and Mslexia, and anthologised in Dedalus’s collection of immigrant poetry in Ireland, Landing Places (2010).

The Long Story, Short literary journal will publish a short story every month, favouring tales that take their time: “Longer than flash; fewer strings attached than a novel”, says the website. To submit your story or artwork, please visit the Submissions page of the website.
