Short Story Collections
Short stories are a good choice when you just want to explore bite size journeys and try a few different genres to find out what most interests you. We have short stories written by young people to showcase what is possible as a young writer, to offer inspiration and help you experience something you are not used to, without the full commitment to a longer book.
Short stories are also often fun to read aloud or as an activity starter for writing the next chapter yourself! Like they say - a short story's a good story!
