About Short Story
Short story is a program wherein, "Teens write and write – trying out styles and techniques to find their voices as storytellers. The group’s stories are shared with the community through ample performance and publishing opportunities.​
"We are situated at the Neutral Zone in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our posts feature articles, current news on short story writers, prompts, and other updates! If you know some young writers, point them to this page!" -Description found on the SSW Facebook page
