Steph Liberatore, as a writer, specializes in nonfiction, so it stands to reason she founded a new on-line journal focused on short forms of the genre. Inshortjournal.com offers readers and writers alike the chance to savor some very well-chosen words: Flash pieces of 1,000 words or fewer; micro pieces of 400 words or fewer, short-shorts of 100 words or fewer.
In this episode of Upstart Crow, Steph and Upstart Crow host William Miller look at some of the pieces published in the first two issues and discuss her goals for In Short, how it operates, and why it is an on-line rather than in-print journal and probably will remain that way.
