Some months ago the fabulous Jürgen Fauth contacted me to create a literary community centered around the short story. The idea was billed as “YouTube for writers” — a venue where readers could enjoy great stories and authors could present their labors. And hopefully a place where community would grow.

Today I’m proud to announce Fictionaut.

The official launch is set for sometime next month; right now we’re operating in semi-stealth mode for beta testers only. If you’d like to be part of the initial few, please contact me and tell me a little about yourself and why you’re interested.

There’s a lot more to come so stay close…
