Well, considering it's the 23rd of JUNE, I don't know how well I can call it Short Story Month. Plus I didn't hit the original goals of reading and reviewing a short story from both a literary journal AND a short story collection for each day of May.
I did end up reading, and commenting upon 50 individual stories, 25 from literary journals and 25 from story collections.
Of the 25 stories from literary journals, they came from 18 different journals, the majority of them of the independent variety.
Of the 25 stories from story collections, 22 different publishers were represented, all but a trio of which were independent or University run.
Gender division came out an equal 25 apiece, and two of the pieces were translated (one from a collection and one from a journal!).
Hopefully the project has led to one or two of you remembering how much you enjoy the story, and found you reading some additional journals, or buying a story collection or two.
