16th International Conference on the Short Story in English


The International Conference on the Short Story in English was first launched in 1988 in Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, by the Society for the Study of the Short Story in English (SSSS) as a colloquium which has grown in stature and gained prominence over the years.

The 16th International Conference on the Short Story in English will take place from 20th June to 24th June 2023 at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore with the theme, “Diversity of Voices: A Global Storytelling History”.

The conference will focus on the craft of writing both short stories and creative non-fiction in its various forms and designs as well as its accompanying criticism and scholarship. Special panels include teaching creative writing in schools and tertiary institutions, children’s literature, young adult fiction, and translated works into English from Singapore’s other official languages of Tamil, Malay and Mandarin.
