On Friday next week (21st November) we will publish a story by another author we hope keeps on patronising Literally Stories, Jane Dougherty.
Coincidentally, the story is called Friday.
We found it in our Gmail Inbox. Last Friday I think it was. It was a joy reading it.
You see, we love reading and are having a great time sifting through all the stories you are sending in.
So please keep sending them in and we’ll keep on reading them, and some – the very best, we’ll publish.
Next Monday, 17th November, 2014, we publish our first story.
It’s called Post.
I say ‘our story’ because the story is being published by us – Literally Stories. But in fact the story wasn’t written by one of us but by one of you.
Congratulations to ‘our’ first Author, Jenny Morton Potts.
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.
