Monday, 17th November, 2014, Literally Stories will publish its first short story. Tuesday, 18th, our second story will appear here.
A new story each weekday and then the Editor’s favourite from the week, featured on Saturday.
On Sunday we aim to put our feet up. Read the paper. Take the dog on a long walk. Play Scrabble. Swim the Channel.
Okay – you’ve seen our bios and none of us – you’re thinking – look anything like long-distance swimmers?
True. We just like making things up. Telling stories.
We hope you will enjoy reading those stories, that they will enthral and entertain you. Scare you. Shock you. Make you think – brilliant protagonist – wonderful plot – original idea – slick narrative – didn’t see that coming – awesome (or whatever superlative you usually use) or just make you think. In fact, you might enjoy reading our stories so much you are inspired to write one yourself – not forgetting of course, when it is completed, edited to perfection, buffed up and ready to go, to make Literally Stories your first stop for submissions.
Conversely, you might read one of Literally Stories short stories and think; I can do better. Great. We’d love to see the result.
First though, we hope to see you all here next Monday. The 17th. Until then, we extend our very best wishes to all our followers (that was eight at the last count) and future authors (who knows how many that will be?)
The Literally Stories Editors – Adam, Diane, Hugh, Nik and Tobias.

It’s been a lot of work, a lot of fun and now it’s getting exciting. Adam Hugh, Nik, Tobias and I are really looking forward to getting this thing going. Have a look at the submissions page – have you got a short story that you would like us to publish?
