Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Writing is hard. It should be. Getting heard should be a little bit easier. Unfortunately, emerging writers don’t often get the exposure they deserve unless they become their own marketing department. The Other Stories is a platform where writers can share their work, and where editors, agents, and readers can discover new, struggling, and already established talent. Our format is simple. Authors read a piece of fiction, and then the host interviews them. With the help of our technical director and composer, the podcast is fully produced and authors’ fiction is released with originally scored music in the background. The Other Stories features good writing and good stories, whether they discuss mermaids in the sea or married couples in Brooklyn.

What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Listen to a few episodes (they're free, after all) and see how the podcast works. Don't submit without knowing that this is an interview-based podcast that has authors reading their own work. If you want me or someone else to read your work because y
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
I happen to be Israeli, and an Israeli writer happened to submit to the podcast, not knowing I was Israeli. That was fun, and pretty funny.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
My ideal listener is someone who loves to listen to writers talk about their work, who loves talking about ideas and dissecting them, and who loves fiction, stories, and the way they sound when an author reads them (it is always so different than wha
