Short Story September

Short Story September is an exciting new initiative from Dahlia Publishing. Our aim is to celebrate the short story form and encourage everyone to have a go at writing a short story while raising the profile of writers with published collections. The project consists of a dedicated blog that seeks to platform short story writers and inspire writers through a daily prompt and writing resources.
