Currently, there's a gap in the fiction market. A niche waiting to be filled.

Novels fill the shelves of bookstores and the bookshelves of our homes. The long fiction thrives. But what of short fiction? Why aren’t short stories as readily available?

Short fiction can be purchased in two ways, both of which are collections. First, there’s the collected shorts of a single author covering a wide assortment of genres. Second, there’s the collection from numerous authors covering one genre. Either way, you have to purchase a collection and you have to sift through several stories that don’t interest you to read the few that do.

Some of the best stories ever written can be read in an hour or less. So why can’t we purchase those? Why can’t we buy and enjoy an individual short story?

It is in answer to these questions that Pocket Novel Publishing is brought to life. People want short fiction along with novels, just as television shows are watched as frequently as movies.

Pocket Novels, individual short fiction, gives readers thrilling stories in another format. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can enjoy an original work of fiction written by fresh, new voices in the world of short stories.

You asked for it, and we’re delivering it. The short story is back.
