About This Video
As the publishing recession drags on, many young writers are advised to avoid short story collections--they seem too hard to sell in this tough economy.
Earlier this week GalleyCat interviewed Laura Furman, editor of the annual O. Henry prize anthology, who debunked publishing short story myths. She's edited short story anthology collections for years, and in this video explains that reports of the short story's death are greatly exaggerated.
Here's more about the PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2009 anthology that Furman edited: "[It] is the result of a new partnership between Vintage and PEN American Center. Proceeds from the collection will be directed to PEN's Readers & Writers Program, and the anthology will become a reading staple in PEN’s Writing Institute."
