Sarah Burt Howell 

Short Fiction Author

I write short fiction ranging from microfiction to novelettes. My stories mix the familiar with the unexpected, exploring what happens when ordinary life turns strange.

Current Projects

Short Story Collection

I’ve recently completed a collection of literary short fiction ranging from 3,000 to 11,000 words. Several stories are currently under consideration at journals, and I will continue submitting throughout 2025–2026.

Flash Competitions

This fall I began participating in flash fiction contests. Recent results include a longlist mention with Furious Fiction and an Honorable Mention with Writing Battle.

Short Story eBooks

I’ve published three of my short stories as ebook singles. This allows me to share selected work directly with readers while submitting other pieces to literary journals. More information is available on this site.

WHAT READERS SAY

"[The Acoustic Arborist is] a fantastic novelette to share with a book group."

"I keep thinking about The Hole, and want to read it to my mother."

Stories to Read

These are the only three stories I plan to publish as ebooks, but I will be including more formats, like bookshop.org and the library.
