Short story dead? Nope - the podcasts are coming.
paperhaus April 10th, 2008
Short Story magazine, based in Columbia, South Carolina, has announced a call for entries for — you guessed it — short stories. They’ll be selecting 52 to record and podcast — the podcast site isn’t up yet, but they’re reading submissions now.
A new Short Story project called Short Story Podcasts will be launched in September 2008. One story a week will be read and available on the Short Story website. 52 stories a year.
It’s a wonderful idea — podcasts are an ideal delivery system for the short story. Are they the first to think of it? Anyway, send ‘em your short stories now. If you become podcasted, they’ll even toss you 25 bucks.
The only catch: submissions must be mailed, hardcopy, to a PO Box. No e-mailed entries. (Not entirely Web 2.0 after all.)
