Meet Our VOLUME 2 Authors

The year 2024 marked a significant moment—the planting of the first seed for Quick Story Tales. Driven by a simple, heartfelt idea, we set out to build a dynamic home for creativity, a space where the captivating power of short stories and poetry could truly shine.

Quick Story Tales is more than a platform; it’s a community forge. We passionately support every writer, from those just finding their voice to established authors looking for a fresh outlet. Our aim is twofold: to honor the works by assembling them into beautifully curated annual books and, crucially, to use that spotlight to expand the audience and career of every single author we feature.

It is the spirit of shared literary passion that defines us. Below, we proudly introduce the brilliant cohorts of authors from each year who have graciously contributed their inspiring creations for your reading delight.
