​
Our story
​
In 2017, Mia started a writing challenge called 12 Short Stories. To complete the challenge writers, have to write one short story per month over 12 consecutive months. It’s a wonderful challenge and writers get an exceptional amount of writing done. Over time, Mia wanted to offer the writers an opportunity to learn more about the craft and have a chance to explore and immerse themselves in short stories.
