About me
I started writing very short stories on the tram to work, because a ride was twenty minutes and a story, I found, can fit into twenty minutes. I wrote them on the back of tickets and in the margins of my diary, and when I had forty I put them together and sent them to a few friends. They asked for more.
Now I write one every week and send it on Sunday, from a flat under the roof above a courtyard. Most stories are between three hundred and nine hundred words. I like a story that starts late, ends early and leaves one door open.
I sell what I make for myself: story collections to read in a sitting, prompt decks to get you started when the page is blank, and two courses on writing and cutting a short story. I am not famous, and you do not need to be to write short.
