Self-published short stories

Ireland has been blessed with many masters of the shorter form over the years but the short story collection is a form that has been getting steadily less attention from larger publishers recently. Some of our earliest publications were short story collections and it’s a genre that is dear to us which is why we’re delighted to do our bit in keeping this essential literary genre alive and healthy.
