Read the best short stories. Help great writers reach readers.
At Short Story Lovers we believe short stories deserve a big stage. We built a simple, friendly place where new and experienced writers can publish instantly and every story gets a fair chance to be found.
How it all began.
Stories unite us, heal us, teach us and unwind us like nothing else in the world. The story of Short Story Lovers begins with two people who shared this belief.
In 2011, Jagrit and Ruhani Gupta, a couple with a love for short fiction, were sitting in a coffee shop when the idea struck them. They felt that social media was not the right place for creative writing—posts were often lost in the noise or felt awkward to share.
They imagined a dedicated space where any creative mind, whether renowned or just starting out, could publish and be read. That idea became ShortStoryLovers.com.
In a digital world dominated by fleeting content and endless scrolls, Short Story Lovers has carved a meaningful space for those who still believe in the magic of storytelling. What started in 2011 as a humble idea has evolved into a thriving home for over 35,000+ authors and 65,000+ stories, fueled by community, creativity, and constant evolution.
