Hi - this is my first contribution to the list, so I'd better introduce
myself. I teach creative writing at the University of Glamorgan, and write
both fiction and poetry. I was just wondering if anyone on the list is
involved in the current Arts Council campaign to raise the profile of the
short story? I feel very strongly about this; even if the form is as
uncommercial as publishers claim, it's surely no more so than poetry, which
has received a great deal more attention and support in recent years.
Here's a link:
