What’s New With Short’s Shorts
Monthly Challenge
The micro-stories challenge has caught on and I have collected your submissions into groups as follows…
Stories with a word count of up to 200 words; that is 50, 53, 100, 200. Word count is the story itself and does not include the title.
Look for your stories in the coming months on page 4 of the weekly shorts – and keep those submissions coming. Send to: brendashort@writingblog.ca or use the contact button.

Request For Alpha Readers
An alpha reader is the first person to read a draft manuscript. They are asked to provide detailed feedback about the premise, plot, characters, and other technical story mechanics. This can be done in a few words or a lot – up to you. The alpha reader is looking at the rough draft, providing input before the beta reader and editors.
If you would enjoy working with an upcoming author, contact me at brendashort@writingblog.ca or send your information through the ‘contact me’ button below.
If you are working on a manuscript and would find this kind of feedback useful, please contact me for more information.
