Hello SFB Readers,

There’s a lot of great stuff happening at Short Fiction Break. Here’s nine things we’re excited about:

1) On Writing

Starting this week, every Saturday the Short Fiction Break Regular Contributors will share their thoughts, tips, tricks, and insights about writing. Check out these posts if you are interested in learning and discussing the art of writing stories.

2) Writing Prompts

Later this month Short Fiction Break will publish our first ever writing prompt. Keep an eye out. We’re excited to see what stories you create.

3) New Collection of Horror from the SFB Master of Horror

In September, SFB Regular Contributor Derek Ailes partnered with James Coon to produce a fantastic new work of horror – Musings from a Demented Mind. Grab your copy by clicking here.
