Over at StoryADay.org, STORYFEST the annual celebration of the short story has begun.

(Yeah, I know it’s not happening in Short Story Month May but all these stories were written during StoryADay May. We’ll let them off with it!)

Pop over to the site to see this year’s nominated stories.

While you’re at it why not tweet about it, share it on Facebook, or Goodreads or where ever else you hang out.

It’s a great weekend to read a short story!

Short Story Month at BEA

I’ll be at Book Expo America this Wednesday, June 6, talking up International Short Story Month.

I’ll be making connections with authors, publishers, booksellers and librarians to gather support and involvement for next May. Together we can turn May 2013 into a spectacular celebration of the short story.

If you are a publisher professional and you want to meet up at BEA, send me an email julied at shortstorymonth.com or tweet @shortstorymonth
