About Long Story Short: LSS, a writer's ezine, published its first story in July of 2003. Our goal was simple: to publish the best work of writers - from beginners to established authors. We have watched novice writers bloom under our encouragement, expanding their horizons and entering other markets. When these writers return with a more powerful and passionate piece, we all share in the glory and pride of their achievement. The idea is to keep striving for success. There's no greater inspiration than seeing one's own creation on the pages of a magazine. Let us help you achieve it. We hope you enjoy reading Long Story Short as much as we enjoy publishing it for you. Good luck and good writing!
