ENSFR

The European Network for Short Fiction Research was established in 2013 with the aim of fostering and promoting the study of short fiction in European universities and in interaction with short fiction writers. After an inaugural meeting early in 2014, the ENSFR has organized annual conferences as well as sponsored several other study days and events. This website aims to be an interactive platform for sharing research, expertise, ideas and information about short fiction in its diversity of linguistic traditions and forms.

About ENSFR

The European Network for Short Fiction Research was created as a joint initiative of researchers at Edge Hill University (U.K.), the Université d’Angers (France) and the University of Leuven (Belgium). We have now been joined by many other colleagues from all over Europe. Our broad aim is to foster and promote research on short fiction across different countries and institutions.

We aim to provide a forum and resources for European-based researchers into the practice, criticism and transmission of short fiction in its diversity of forms and to facilitate collaboration in both critical and practice-led research. We hold annual conferences on short fiction, hosted in different universities across Europe, and we facilitate and support many other conferences, workshops and  seminars in the broad field of short fiction studies.

Some excellent advice from the brilliant @djdaisyjohnson, who is judging the 2022 Short Fiction/University of Essex International Short Story Prize special Wild Writing Prize alongside @jamescanton. Open for entries until June 30th! https://buff.ly/3506vLv https://twitter.com/djdaisyjohnson/status/1534444260703064066

Daisy Johnson @djdaisyjohnson

Really looking forward to reading the entries for this prize. Top tip: put your story in a drawer (metaphorical or physical) for a day and then come back to it. Read it out loud and look for repetitions, clunky sentences, then do one more pass.
