"Raymond’s eye for telling detail is very fine, as one expects of an accomplished writer, but to this she adds the informing eye of a natural historian of place.”
— John Keeble, author of Nocturnal America

Celebrating Short Story Month

by Midge Raymond

May is Short Story Month! At least, it is according to Emerging Writers Network — and it seems to be catching on:

- BookFox has an all-time best short story list (held together by a “secret theme”)
- Poets&Writers presents an article making the case for National Short Story Month (after all, we have National Poetry Month)
- The literary magazine Ninth Letter posted a blog about in honor of Short Story Month
- Andrew’s Book Club features an appreciation of Alice Munro’s “Differently”

And of course, short stories aren’t just for the month of May  … join me at Hugo House in July for The Art & Craft of the Short Story, Tuesday nights, 7-9, from July 7 to 28.

And here’s a link to The Short Review’s blog, which published writers’ responses to the question “What does the word ‘story’ mean to you?”
