Shorts on Hold

I’m sorry to have to let you know that production of Shorts magazine has been put on indefinite hold. As you know, we are all volunteers and other committments mean that I do not have the time, energy or money to put into Shorts for the foreseeable future. I understand that this will cause disappointment, especially to those of you whose writing was scheduled to be featured this month. I will keep everything on file so that as and when I can pick things up again your work will be included. 

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement over the past five years.
