Over at Uncertain Stories, we’ve just launched something a bit special: the Little Uncertainties. Over the next year, we’re aiming to give away 12,000 of these little books, completely free, to help spread the love of short stories.
Each Little Uncertainty is published in a limited edition of 2,000 copies, and features just a single story; the first two, ‘Chalklands’ by Richard Smyth and ‘Briar Rose’ by Alex Clark, were selected from the Fiction Desk archives.
If you’d like to get your hands on one of these beautiful little things, there are three ways:
- If you’re in the UK, pop into your local friendly independent bookshop and ask if they have them. Most of the indies in Edinburgh have them on the counter somewhere, along with John Sandoe’s in London, the House of Books and Friends in Manchester, and many more. (If your local bookshop doesn’t have any yet, tell them to get in touch with Uncertain Stories, and we can send some out to them!)
- If you order a copy of Broken Ground, the first Uncertain Stories anthology, you’ll find a Little Uncertainty in the package.
- And while stocks last, if you order any of our own anthologies from us here at The Fiction Desk, we’ll pop one in there for you too!
You can find out more about the Little Uncertainties project over at Uncertain Stories.
