Renowned for their brevity and emotional impact, short stories challenge authors to convey depth and complexity within a limited framework, making every word count and often relying on the power of suggestion and the reader's imagination to complete the picture.

This category encompasses a wide range of genres, including historical fiction, classic literature, contemporary fiction, and non-fiction works about English culture, history, and society.
