Meeting Description:

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.
