Tips for reading short fiction

  • Read it in one sitting. Short stories are built to be read start to finish. A few uninterrupted minutes make a big difference.
  • Slow down at the beginning and the end. In short fiction, the first and last lines often carry the most meaning.
  • Reread your favorites. A second reading often reveals details and hints you missed the first time.
  • Try a new genre. A short story is a low-risk way to discover that you love fantasy, or mystery, or romance.

Building a daily reading habit

  • Pick a moment. Your morning coffee, your commute or the time before bed all work well.
  • Start small. One short story a day adds up quickly.
  • Keep it easy. Bookmark Storyvia so a new story is always one tap away.
