As the journal title says, I am currently accepting commissions to write short stories. These stories will be around 3,700 words, or -- as I tend to think of it -- ten pages in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman 12pt. They will revolve around your original characters and/or the situations they find themselves in. All you need to do is provide me with their backstories, scenes you may have in mind (if any) and any particular guidelines. I will then create an original story that you can do with as you wish -- post on websites, publish in zines -- with the only stipulation being that I am given credit as the writer. Each short will take up to two weeks to write.

These commissioned short stories will be 20$ each, with payments accepted via PayPal (josh@joshtierney.com). Other payment options can be discussed.

Four shorts from 2008 (the fantasy/fairy tale of The Light in Glass Flowers, the comedy of The Story of Bogovich and Gregorovich, the angst of Yi Mao Rises to Heaven and the abstract ghost story of For Real, For Serious, For Everything) offer a good idea of my range: [link]

I am also the author of The Untitled Saga of Hana ([link]) and Radar Doesn't Believe In The Supernatural ([link])

Please send me a note if you're interested.
