How One Story Serves Writers

One Story provides a powerful way for fiction writers to reach a wide audience. For the authors we publish, we offer extensive editing on the page and ongoing mentoring and professional development. We help them find representation, support them in placing their work in other venues, and publicize their books through public events and social media.

The Red One Who Rocks

One Story believes that all authors should be treated equally. This is reflected in our format, design, and editorial practice. New voices are essential and deserve to be heard. To achieve this goal, we publish authors only once.

"I received more notice for my One Story publication than for any other story in a journal over my career. One Story has a very wide, discerning, and engaged audience that is hungry for short fiction." Don Lee, Author
