What is the number of words required for stories to be classified as short stories? Does 1000 words classify as being a short story? Thank you for your help.

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”.

I want to write some short stories, just for writing practice. Ray Bradbury once advised writers to write one short story a week. Then you get in your practice, and you have accomplished something every week. I love this idea, but I need material to write about.

From those of you that write, where do you get your ideas for stories?
Thanks for all your help

I’m always hearing that people publish short stories in magazines, but I’ve never read a single magazine that has a short story with a plot and characters. Can you name me some magazines I could publish a short story in?

Lindsay asked:


For example, if one magazine wants to publish a short story are you allowed to also have it published by another magazine? Should you only submit short stories to one magazine at a time and wait to see if it publishes or rejects it before submitting the story to another?

Any links you can offer to help explain more in depth are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you Janne for your kind response & I felt really good that somebody is interested in listening to my story well but sorry I was not writing on my life.I have dropped the idea now as I think I am better reader and you know I like to do every thing perfectly and my college is reopening so I won’t get enough time.
For Blue:That was a good idea to drop out soon LOL but you helped in increasing my knowledge.
