Short Novel is a dedicated space for readers, writers, and thinkers drawn to the profound depths of brief fiction. Here, the exploration of existential short stories, identity and self tales, philosophical microfiction, and time and memory narratives comes to life — revealing the vital connections between thought, experience, and the human condition.
We believe that short fiction is more than just brevity — it’s about distilling life’s most complex questions into moments of crystalline clarity. From stories that probe the nature of existence to narratives that examine the fluidity of identity and the weight of memory, these themes offer pathways toward understanding ourselves and our place in the world.
Our Mission
At Short Novel, our mission is to curate, celebrate, and share transformative short fiction that challenges readers to think deeply about existence, identity, time, and memory. We aim to inspire readers, writers, philosophers, and curious minds by uncovering narratives that illuminate the essential questions of human experience.
Through carefully selected stories, thematic explorations, and literary insights, we keep the spirit of philosophical fiction alive for current and future generations.
What You’ll Find Here
Every story on Short Novel reflects our dedication to meaningful, thought-provoking fiction. Our content includes:
- Existential Short Stories — exploring themes of meaning, purpose, freedom, and the nature of being through compact narratives
- Identity and Self Tales — examining questions of who we are, who we become, and the masks we wear in navigating life
- Philosophical Microfiction — presenting profound ideas and ethical dilemmas in remarkably brief, powerful forms
- Time and Memory Narratives — investigating how we experience time, how memory shapes us, and how the past haunts or heals the present
Whether you’re a reader seeking depth, a writer exploring consciousness, or simply someone who finds beauty in questions without easy answers, Short Novel invites you to discover fiction that lingers long after the final sentence.
Who We Are
The Short Novel team consists of literary curators, writers, philosophers, and storytellers dedicated to elevating short fiction that matters. We believe that the most important stories don’t require hundreds of pages — they require precision, insight, and courage to confront what it means to be human.
We’re here to curate, inspire, and foster a community that values depth over length and meaning over convention.
