Perhaps by rounding up some major grants to develop exportable production of short stories,micro stories ,mini and flash fiction;the works,I have over 100 ready to be launched at my site;some one give a publishing hand to all this hard work.

On another note about short story collections, I was noticing today that Maile Meloy was recently named by Granta magazine as one of the Best Young Novelists in America. She followed this praise by releasing an amazing collection of stories! "Both Way Is the Only Way I Want It" also landed on the front cover of the NYTBR...

I agree that we need to bring the short story form back into popularity. It's always been great, but I think it's about time the short stories are no longer neglected. Great work, guys!
