Mission
ONE STORY AIMS TO BRING LITERARY FICTION TO A WIDE AUDIENCE BY MAKING SHORT STORIES PORTABLE AND FUN. WE MAIL ONE PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED SHORT STORY TO A WIDE AUDIENCE 15 TIMES A YEAR. OUR FORMAT FORGES AN INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN READER AND WRITER AND ALLOWS EACH AUTHOR TO TAKE CENTER STAGE. PART OF ONE STORY'S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT WRITERS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PUBLISHING BOTH NEW AND ESTABLISHED AUTHORS. TO THAT END, WE WILL ONLY PUBLISH EACH AUTHOR ONCE. WE MENTOR OUR AUTHORS LONG AFTER THEY PUBLISH WITH US, CONNECTING THEM TO AGENTS AND EDITORS, GUIDING THEM DURING TURNING POINTS IN THEIR CAREERS, PROMOTING THEIR BOOKS AND OTHER VENTURES, AND HERALDING THEIR SUCCESSES. AT THE SAME TIME, ONE STORY PAIRS THEIR WRITING WITH AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE, ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS WITH READERS THAT LAST A LIFETIME.
