It’s All About the Telling

It’s a tale, a memory, or a thought. Whether it’s fiction, memoir, or essay, it’s all about the telling of the story. It’s one story, not a novel or a life’s work, so we’ll be keeping ours short, definitely under 8,000 words. Old story, a chapter of something larger, a new idea, or a life’s recollection? I’m open to them all, and we’ll be working with the goal of making them publishable.

Whatever tales you’re burning to tell, we’ll work on them together.

Clif Travers is a visual artist and writer who has relocated to his home state of Maine. Besides being featured in Underwood Press, freeze frame fiction, Crack the Spine Anthology, and Coffin Bell Journal, among others, his collection of short stories and novellas, The Stones of Riverton, is forthcoming with Down East Press this year. Its tales are inspired by the gravestones in his hometown in western Maine and are based on the rumors of the suspicious deaths of those who lie beneath them.  He received his MFA in creative writing from Stonecoast at the University of Southern Maine.
