Spec Tac asked:


I haven’t shelled out my money for a copy of Writers Market yet, but am wondering what publications are generally known as the most popular/ best known for submission and publishing of short stories (fiction - not necessarily genre specific, just contemporary fiction, modern fiction, etc).

If you have information or links, much appreciated.

Courtney Lou asked:


Alright, I really want a book that has a collection of great short stories that one might read around a campfire or bring on a roadtrip. I would prefer stories aimed for young adults, but other suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Let me know if there’s a better way to explain what I’m looking for, I know my description was somewhat vague.

Tyler asked:


I am writing a paper this evening comparing and contrasting two short stories. I am wondering if anyone has a good idea of two stories that would suite well to this paper? It would be nice if the stories has a connection so the paper would have more of a focus, rather than comparing two random stories (which is exactly what I would end up doing without guidance)

Thanks!

I have to do a project where I read a short story from either Hemingway or Steinbeck. In this project I have to teach a discussion to my class. What stories are enjoyable? I’ve read a lot of stories from Hemingway, including most of the Nick Adams stories and the African stories, for Steinbeck I have read “The Red Pony”.

Anyone have any ideas for coming of age short stories that aren’t depressing?

Gabriel asked:


I’m a teacher and am teaching a high school English curriculum called Coming of Age and the Construction of Identity. So far we’ve read some great short stories, but they’ve all been rather depressing. If this were a film class I’d be golden, but alas, it is not. Anyone have any ideas? Links to full text would be greatly appreciated, though not necessary. Thanks!

PS I know there are a number of great novels out there, but what I’m looking for are short stories.
