In defence of Short Stories

Since launching Greyhart Press, I've been delighted to encounter fellow publishers and authors who champion shorter story lengths. One of these evangelists is James Everington. I came across him on an online forum and took a chance on his short story collection The Other Room. I was not disappointed.

In fact, I liked it so much that I… Well, I didn't buy the company but I did a guest blog post on James' Scattershot Writing blog.

An author friend, Ian Watson, sometimes talks about meta fiction. I'm not quite sure what that means. In this guest blog I appear as a character in a short story about short stories inside a blog post about short stories. Does that count? Not sure but it was fun to write.
