A collection of short stories or essays is like a literary buffet. Readers sample small bites of an author’s ideas and imagination, while writers experiment with a variety of subjects, formats, and styles. Several Kansas City authors, including Catherine Browder, Dawn Downey, and Kenan Orhan, introduce new writing techniques and talk about what inspires them to keep it short.
