Episode 2: Short Story Panel

from Malarkey Public Radio Hosted by Alan Good

This episode of Malarkey Public Radio is dedicated to something everyone in publishing says doesn’t sell: short story collections. Just want to point out that all the writers you’ll hear talking about their books, about stories, about litmags, in this episode all have books for sale in our online store. Synopsis: Sean Ennis, Sheldon Birnie, Spencer Fleury, Steve Gergley, and Eric Williams join LJ Pemberton on Malarkey Public Radio to talk about how you put a short story collection together, what percentage is new work vs previously published work, flash vs long short fiction, the increasing irrelevance of literary magazines that aren’t online, favorite short stories, and more!
