Short Story Publication/Competition

[Jonathan]

Very nice! I’m just discovering the joys of submitting short stories to online magazines. It has a nice quick turnaround unlike *The Behemoth*, aka my fantasy novel(s).

[Philippa East]

Congrats @elle!

[Elle]

Thank you!

[Daedalus]

Wow, @elle – what a story. Breathtaking. And the magazine is so beautiful too. Really well done

[Elle]

@Daedalus – thanks!

Indeed it is. Well done John. That’s an amazingly fast turnaround as well, they must have loved it

So my short story “Did You Know?” has been published today in Story Magazine. Really thrilled as it’s a magazine I’ve been reading for a long time. Feel free to have a read:

This is brilliant! A great publication, @elle

[Philippa East]

What a beautifully written story. My favourite line: “You said she made you feel young. How did she do that? I replied. Did she read you bedtime stories?”

[Seagreen]

Congratulations, L. Another fine story 🙂

[Elle]

Thanks @Seagreen!

Thanks @Philippa — I was channelling my passive-aggressive self for that line and it just popped out!

[Daedalus]

Great story Elle, well done. I agree with Philippa about that line!

[John S Alty]

Well done, good job as usual, L!

[JaneShuff]
