Un punto di riferimento nel mondo della short fiction con notizie, articoli, novità, segnalazioni. "Although the short story was a popular feature of many magazines for most of the last century, in more recent years the form has too often been overlooked and undervalued, considered by many to be little more than the means by which aspiring novelists hone their craft. At THRESHOLDS, however, we have no doubt that the short story is a vital literary form in its own right, deserving of serious critical attention and acclaim."

a project of The Public Media Foundation, dramatizes stories by American women writers for national radio broadcast. This site provides classroom resources for teaching the rich tradition of American literature by women. The Scribbling Women project provides an opportunity for teachers, students, library patrons, visually impaired listeners, and a general audience to learn about and enjoy an often neglected part of our cultural heritage. By providing highly produced thirty-minute dramatizations of short stories by these writers, together with related curriculum and lesson plans, the site offers teachers the opportunity to include both the listening experience and a discussion of the story and dramatization within a standard class period.
