About Shorts Magazine

Shorts is a free online magazine which launched in February 2020 with the aim of bringing together writers and creative artists from all over the world. Shorts particularly encourages submissions from marginalised communities, and from new and emerging writers. 

Shorts was established in a time of growing isolationism on the part of the UK and the US, and aims to combat this by uniting global creatives and nurturing unheard voices. It is an LGBTQ+ friendly platform with a liberal outlook.

Shorts is produced by the writer and poet Marnie Devereux in northern Arizona, US.

New Favicon!

Shorts magazine now has its own favicon! What’s a favicon? It’s the little icon that sits in the corner of a tab when you open a website; in this case, the smart little blue and white ‘s’ which you can see at the top of the page. Neat, isn’t it?
