Little Uncertainties

Our Little Uncertainties are very short books, each containing just a single story.

You can't buy them: instead, over the next year, we're aiming to give away 12,000 of these little books, to help spread the love of short stories. You can find them in participating cafes and bookshops. We'll also pop one in your package if you order a copy of our anthology Broken Ground.

(The Little Uncertainties project is funded through sales of Broken Ground, so if you like what we're doing, please consider getting yourself a copy!)

These are our first three Little Uncertainties. Click a cover to find out more about the story inside:
