Shortbread

Work continues on Shortbread Stories, a short story community website being developed by Red Barn. As well as developing and testing the web application, a range of new audio branding is being written to coincide with the launch of the new website.

Shortbreadstories.com was founded by author Robin Pilcher and bookseller William Thomson to develop a concept for publishing short stories. As Robin Pilcher explains:

‘A few years ago, I attended a writer’s workshop at a literary weekend in Glasgow and was bowled over by the quality of writing that was on offer. Every story was worthy of being published, but I knew that, at the end of that weekend, most of them would probably be shoved away in a bottom drawer and forgotten about. I left determined to find a way to let those voices be heard.

Shortbread is the result, a website designed specifically to be a showcase for writers and to make their stories available to a worldwide audience. So lets open up that bottom drawer and resurrect those hidden treasures.’
