The People of Short Fiction Break

Contributing Writers

Many of the stories on Short Fiction Break are written by our stellar team of regular contributors. These writers share a new story with us each month. If you love their writing as much as we do, be sure to visit their websites and check out their other published works.

Tze Chua works in healthcare but her first ambition was to be a writer. She wrote it in a school essay when she was seven years old. She only started doing something about it in the Year of the Coronavirus, but hey, better late than never.

 

JD Edwin is your average worshipper of strange things. She splits her time between working full time, writing fiction both long and short, and creating digital and traditional artwork. You can find more information on her writing and future projects at jdedwin.com, and follow her on Facebook and Twitter (@JDEdwinAuthor).

Jeff Elkins is a writer living in Baltimore with his wife and five kids. He founded Short Fiction Break in 2014 to help writers share their stories with the world. He is the author of four books, including Mencken and the Monsters. He regularly blogs at Vagrant Misunderstandings.

Erin Halden is a freelance writer and television producer with credits ranging from PBS to the Food Network. But her real passion is making stuff up. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a 110-year-old house that’s next door to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s high school. You can read more about Erin on her website, erinhalden.com.

Angela Largent decided at the age of twelve that she wanted to be a writer, but then Adult Life had its way with her. She currently lives in Wichita, Kansas, with a squirrelly cat, a cranky cat, and a happy dog.

 

Phil Town is a teacher (of English as a foreign language) and translator (Portuguese > English) in Lisbon. In his spare time he writes screenplays (features and shorts) and short stories. He also writes about Portuguese football (soccer) for the British independent football magazine When Saturday Comes.
