Collection Story !FREE! Download

I'm having trouble finding any tutorials on Youtube about how to compile a short story collection in Scrivener. I have 4 short stories that I wrote in one file. Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to publish it on Amazon. Thanks.

A short story collection is a book of short stories and/or novellas by a single author. A short story collection is distinguished from an anthology of fiction, which would contain work by several authors (e.g., Les Soires de Mdan).[1][2][3][4] The stories in a collection may or may not share a tone, theme, setting, or characters with one another.[5]

The act of writing short stories is different from the act of gathering short stories into a collection.[6] For instance, the short story author may or may not be the one who compiles the short story collection, even though the author penned the individual stories. This is especially obvious in the case of posthumous publications.

Note that short story collections should be considered different from traditional novels and other narratives because collections do not forward a cohesive storyline in the same way novels do.[6] Instead, short story collections group individual pieces, each with their own narratives. If a short story collection as a whole has its own narrative, it is considered a short story cycle.[8]

Short story collections have their roots in medieval frame tale collections, growing into the postmodern narratives of the 1900s.[6] Short story collections either can be authored traditionally by one person or evolve from oral, anonymous traditions that are finally penned by someone.[6] An example of the latter would be Grimm's Fairy Tales.[9] Short story collections can be published when the author is alive or they can be collected and published after the author is dead using the author's existing works.[6]

From the producer side, short story collections are helpful economically to authors looking to publish. Because short stories are often less than fifty pages, putting them together can provide something that is more like the size of a novel.[10] While short story collections are less popular than novels for consumers, they are purchased consistently.[11] Short story collections have experienced a gradual increase in sales over the last decade, although most collections are not reprinted and do not sell more than 3,000 copies.[11]

Aside from their entertainment value, short story collections can also be used for teaching. There are several potential applications for collections in the classroom. The first is the ability for students to quickly experience other cultures and traditions through a literary lens.[12] Secondly, providing short story collections centered around a specific time creates an opportunity to encourage interest in historical studies.[12] Teachers can also use short story collections as introduction or further exploration to a genre.[12] By providing several works from that genre, students can get a feel of its conventions. Another potential use is to challenge students to evaluate and criticize literature by using short story collections as a jumping off point.[12] The last idea is to use short story collections as a model for student writing since classical greats can be daunting or impossible for a student to replicate.[12] However, newer, more bite-sized short story collections might be a good way for students to get the depth of exposure they need while not overwhelming them.[12]

Short story collections can be divided into two general groups. The first is themed collections, which might share a character, setting, theme, or tone. This is different from a short story cycle in that the collection does not advance a cohesive narrative. The second is non-themed collections, a grouping in which each story has little literary similarity to the others. Following are notable collections from each group.

We are using Story Collections to combine information about a given project. The first item in the collection is a storymap explaining the project and the second item we have embedded a WebApp to explore/edit/export the data from the project.

If we are given the ability to add an App to our collection, it should be fully functional when added in. Collections have been a great way to organize projects. Being able to save one URL versus many has been very popular, having to keep track of so many URLs would be a pain for our users but if other ESRI products don't work with StoryMaps/Collections we'll have to stop using stories.

For now, your readers would need to launch the app in a new browser tab if downloading is a critical function. You can add a link or card to your story to easily allow others to launch this app or any other apps you'd like them to have access to.

If only some readers use the download, you could still add the app to the collection, but add a note on the data download widget that the app must be launched in a new tab for downloads to work. There is an "Open in new tab" option in the collection ... menu in the header.

Any updates on this topic. We have the same problem and the above workaround is not for our users. Curently in Enterprise 10.9.1 we are using Story Map Series to group a collection of webapps and everything works. However, I'd like to upgrade to Enterprise 11.0 and Story Map Series is no longer supported, requiring us to use Story Collections where exporting out CSV and Tiff attachments does not work. Thanks

@DamonNelton -- Thanks for your feedback! Please note that the recommended replacement for classic storytelling templates is not always ArcGIS StoryMaps. This help topic has some good information about how to migrate content created with a classic template that's no longer available at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.x.

Sharing a set of webapps is more of an "app-based" use case rather than storytelling, so this is a situation where it'd be recommended to look at Instant Apps instead of ArcGIS StoryMaps. If you have a need to share apps (especially any with features that are not compatible with ArcGIS StoryMaps security policies), I would suggest you try using the Portfolio or Category Gallery Instant App. Portfolio serves a similar purpose to the classic Map Series template, and the gallery app is another great way to share a set of web apps.

Kate, as someone who is working on a story collection, this is great advice and I really appreciate your post. I am wondering, though: if the answer to the follow-up question about "do you have a novel?" is "no, I am just focusing on stories," how would that land with an agent/editor? There are a handful of dedicated story writers out there, or at least folks who launched their career on stories (George Saunders, Danielle Evans), but is this slice of precedent too small to count on? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Thanks for sharing this, Kate. I just finished my first story collection, and I'm working on a second collection. My native language is Spanish, and I'm wondering if the market is more or less the same. By the way, would you let me know what font did you use in this article? Happy 2024!

SO: you want to write a short story collection. Let\u2019s set some ground rules first. In this case, we\u2019re talking fiction, because the non-fiction version of this is an essay collection, and we\u2019re also talking about books for grown ups. Short story collections for kids are not impossible, but they are rare when done by a single author. Anthologies, fiction or otherwise, are more common, but include many authors, not just one. We talked about anthologies here.

I have a short story collection in a drawer. I mean, it\u2019s my master\u2019s thesis, and it is technically a collection made up of short stories, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a publishable short story collection. (And god I wrote it when I was like 23 so who knows what atrocities lie therein.) But this is the first thing you want to avoid.

You probably started writing short stories before you wrote a novel. Not all of you, but I bet most of you, especially if you went through the MFA system. It makes sense\u2014it\u2019s like a warm up. (It is and it isn\u2019t, tbh.) But it is much harder to sell a short story collection before a novel. Why? Because more people buy novels than story collections. I mean, what was the last story collection you bought? And how did you know about it in the first place?

What\u2019s your story collection about? You might say well, it\u2019s about man\u2019s inhumanity to man, but that doesn\u2019t really tell me what happens in your stories/collection. Do you walk into a bookstore and ask the bookseller hey do you have any books about man\u2019s inhumanity to man? Probably not. If you\u2019re looking for recommendations, you probably say do you have any books about space colonization? or WWII or modern Korean fiction in translation? The more you can say what your collection is about using nouns and not abstractions, the better off you are, which is why you don\u2019t want to shove all your short form writing into a Word doc and call it a book. A short story collection is not just all your not-novels.

My master\u2019s thesis is not a short story collection, because it is just all the stuff I wrote in grad school mushed together. (I was graduating early. I might have been a little rushed.) Whether you are in grad school or not, your short story collection is NOT just all the things you wrote that are the right length. While you don\u2019t have to have a theme per se, your collection should feel intentional.

I know. It\u2019s a very how can I get job experience if I need job experience to get the job? thing. You don\u2019t need these publications to \u201Cprove\u201D you\u2019re worthy of a book deal; you need them for exposure. You need them so that when people see your collection, they might think hey, I read one of these in The New Yorker, and pick it up and buy it. So the publisher can put As seen in The New Yorker on the cover. Obviously, the bigger the venue, the more likely you\u2019ll get that instant recognition. And it doesn\u2019t necessarily follow that they will put As seen in [prestigious but small magazine] on the cover of your book. It\u2019s not a perfect system. BUT that\u2019s why you need publications before a story collection. This applies in all genres with a robust short story ecosystem, like science fiction and fantasy, too. 006ab0faaa
