I need some really good short stories that have deeper meaning/provoke thought. They should be less than about 15 pages. THe less the better. I am compiling a book of short stories, and I already have a lot of scary/creepy ones, so preferably not those types, although if that’s all you can think of then that’s fine

I have 3 short stories I need to place in my works cited page and they were all in the same anthology. Here they are:
“The Metamorphois” by Franz Kafka
“Notes from Underground” by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The Wall” by Jean-Paul Sartre

*Is this a simpler question than it seems?

I want to give my aunt a book on American short stories. She is an English teacher in Germany. I am looking for a book that has American short stories. I really want it to have the Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst. It’s okay if it’s not in there, I not sure if the story is still that popular. Please give me the title of a good collection of American short stories.

I’m doing a large research project centered around Mortimer Adler’s concept of Liberty (his essay on this concept can be found in the Great Books of the Western World). I’m looking for published, well-developed poems and short stories to use as resources for this project. Liberty is a huge topic, and I’m looking for works that cover various aspects of this theme.

Any help would be nice. Thanks!

I have some short stories and would like to publish them (not to make money just so as many people as possible can read them). I have the means to publish the stories to the Internet - is there a market for this? Do I have the potential to get a large base of readers if the stories are good and the site is found on the search engines?
Note: I don’t want to make ANY money from this

I am a web designer and search engine optimiser by trade so I can publish the works myself - I’m asking - is there a market out there for it? I.e. Is there the potential to get a lot of traffic.

PandaFace asked:


I’m having trouble finding publishers, magazines, contests, etc., to send my short stories and vignettes to, especially since I don’t really want to sell my work for very little or nothing. Are there any good places I can send them to?
Also, do publishers ever buy short vignettes? If so, where can I send them?

Like, for example, a book of fictitious short stories. How many stories would be just right? (not too little, not too many) Thanks.

Tippy asked:


I love to write. I want to write a book/novel someday. But before I venture there, I was wondering if I could write short stories and send it to some magazine, who would be interested in publishing it. I do not know if I am good or bad at writing but atleast I can give a vent to my creative side and try a hand at it. So, could you please suggest some magazines that might still publish short stories?
