Free Stories
That's the Story!

Now you can read original short stories and fiction online...For FREE!

Our stories come in short, easy-to-read segments, so you can squeeze them in anytime. They're a perfect way to start the day or wind up the evening before bed. You can discover some of the great, new writing talent out there, long before they become famous.

These are authors who write on today's cutting edge. They're fresh, they're new, and they're exciting. Read them during your morning coffee, or just after lunch. Save them for when you have a few minutes to kick back after putting the kids to bed. And best of all, there's no charge. Whether it's a love story or a horror story, Stories By Email is the place to find them.

Here's how it works. Pick a category at left. Then pick an author, and look over a short example of their work. Then start reading.

Unfortunately, the emailed ezine program has been suspended. The good news is that you can still read any of our thousands of stories and poems directly on our website. Choose a category at left and start browsing!
