About

SpeckLit arose as a response to modern life. We live in a soundbite world where people deal with constant distractions. Instead of battling that reality, we embrace it and therefore embrace the drabble – a complete short story told in 100 words. This form of storytelling fits perfectly in a world where readers want to absorb a piece of fiction in between receiving Facebook notifications and Whatsapp messages. Yes, there still exists a place for long fiction (and there always will!), but there’s also a place for a tapas version of literature – a single bite easily digested on the go. As the name suggests, we focus on speculative fiction and non-fiction – fantasy, science fiction, myth, fairy tale, dark fantasy, etc… – all on a more or less PG level.
