I need some good ironic short stories or stories with a twist, that can be possibly turned into a play. If it was humorous that would be even better!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thnx!

Alright, I really want a book that has a collection of great short stories that one might read around a campfire or bring on a roadtrip. I would prefer stories aimed for young adults, but other suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Let me know if there’s a better way to explain what I’m looking for, I know my description was somewhat vague.

I need to write my paper on the role of children in short stories. All i have is my college textbook of short stories. The stories can be from any country and i need some where children play the role of protagonist, antagonist, and support character.

I’ve always been a writer, i write all the time, short stories, poems, scripts and plays… you name it. But about 8 or 9 months ago i broke up with my partner of 2 years and since then i just cannot write, nothing comes to me and if it does i lose it quickly. I’m not exactly unhappy, i have a great life with great friends and a new partner… Why can’t i find my muse? (the source of my inspiration)

I’m from the UK and wondering which magazines are the best to write to. Is there a method to getting stories printed or is it just a case of writing to as many places as possible and hoping for the best?
Would be grateful for any advice from anybody who has penned short stories.
I was thinking more along the lines of practical advice. But thanks!

Exactly like the question asks, I want to know the difference betwen short stories and essays. They could be written about anything. In what way do the formats differ besides the injection of quotes?
