The Story campaign promotes short fiction through advocacy, innovative projects, reader development and the BBC National Short Story Award.
The campaign champions short stories in a variety of settings, bringing new readers, writers and publishers to the form.
We believe that the short story is one of the most exciting and important literary forms, that can and should reach the widest possible readership. We believe that the short story matters.
