Short stories by Quotes Unknown — Building the future of storytelling, one short story at a time.

I write a short stories in the genre of fantasy or sci-fi.

All short stories will be free forever and always available in our archive.

So if you enjoy reading bite-sized stories and look forward to short stories delivered straight to your inbox, subscribe to this Substack!

If you like our content and are invested in following the growth of this project, you can consider becoming a paid subscriber or purchasing some merch based off your favorite short story.

Why do we have merch so early on? It goes back to our business ethos:

We sell things so we can write and distribute better stories.

This way we hope to build a sustainable business which aims to bring creativity and innovation to the storytelling and entertainment industry, free from the clutches of the algorithm and advertising money (as much as possible).

If you like our stories, our designs, and have the means, please support us here.

What do paid subscribers get?

As of now, nothing but the warm feeling of supporting me because you enjoy my stories (YMMV). However, I am working on getting a paid section up explaining the behind-the-scenes of this growing business. Enough pledges and I’ll do it.

You’ll get a look behind the curtain at the inner workings, thinking, and insights on our business strategy, marketing strategy, and product strategy on the future of this newsletter, along with general metrics of the business.

As a product manager by day, I am also excited to share my insights and thinking around where I hope to take this newsletter and why I hope it can be another data point on what the future of storytelling and publishing can be.

How often to expect stories

All subscribers will receive a brand new short story every Sunday.

Paid subscribers will receive one email a month discussing the work done the past month, metrics from the community and stories, and my thoughts on where the industry and this project is heading.

No story periods: Each year, I take a couple of weeks off. During those weeks, you may receive no new short stories. These weeks are important in helping to recharge creatively and write better stuff for the community. Thank you for understanding 💙.
