Welcome aspiring authors, writers, and thank you for your interest in the Breaking Rules Publishing Short Story Book Project!
Our goal? To simply give writers a place to show their work. To join with other writers and offer them an opportunity to learn from their peers, show their work and join a collaborative to create a short story book. There will be many opportunities for the publication of these books to occur. Specific guidelines will be posted, beyond that, we encourage you to tell a story that matters to you. Write something you believe in. Tell a story in a way that only you can tell it. In other words, write something that moves you, that dazzles you, that says precisely what you want to say in precisely the way you want to say it. As long as you do so in the word limits indicated, and in the suggested theme.
