As the nights draw in and the weather turns cooler, we’re all set to embrace autumn, put on some cosy knitwear and curl up with a good book. But it won’t be long before autumn turns to winter, bringing with it a month of winter-themed stories!
In December, instead of our usual short stories, we publish stories set in the winter, or with a festive theme. From heart-warming reunions to creepy Christmas tales, we can’t wait to hear your stories about the season. You can find all of our wintry stories here, including Something For Yourself by Deborah Jenkins, To My Daughter by Judith Wilson and Kindness for Strangers by Margaret Crompton.
This year, once again, we will be publishing new wintry short stories in December. For a chance to feature in this year’s line-up, please send your short story to submissions@fairlightbooks.com.
The deadline is Thursday 17th November. If you are a writer with a seasonal story to share we would love to hear from you. You can find our submissions guidelines here. Please include ‘winter short story’ in the subject line of your email.
Short stories are at the heart of Fairlight Books. We are looking for cosy Christmas reads, fun festive stories, tales of winter nights and everything in between.
We look forward to reading your short stories to keep us warm through the chilly months to come!
Please send us any questions or queries through email or on our socials, we are always happy to help.
