Meeting Description:

The International Conference on the Short Story in English was first

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.
