About Short Stories

My story

I'm Steven Short (hence the company name). I've loved content since before we even thought about calling it that. I was an avid childhood reader of Monster Fun (and Twinkle) moving on to the NME and The Face, which convinced me I wanted to work on magazines – I've been hooked on print and digital content ever since. 

I've worked in publishing/content marketing for more than two decades and still love thinking of ideas and seeing them come alive on paper or screen.

What I do

I create award-winning content in print and online for brands in the worlds of interiors, property, design, travel, luxury goods and gourmet living. I've worked on pitches and launches, weekly, monthly and quarterly print titles and their digital equivalents. I've also published five collections of themed short stories by established and emerging writers and am active on substack: stevenshort.substack.com

      Steven is a delight to work with – talented, with bags of common sense, he is incredibly quick to grasp a brief regardless of sector or subject and asks the right questions early on which results in pretty much perfect content every time. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

    Steven and I worked together on a new strategy for my social media accounts. I found his input insightful and inspiring and feel my content and engagement rates are much improved..

      I have been lucky enough to work with Steven for over 20 years and he is the perfect combination of professional and fabulous. He is an experienced and talented writer with a clear understanding of the nuances of the ever-evolving luxury market. I have always valued his innate capacity to seek out the right story for our clients, and he is a joy to travel with.

    Steven helped us develop a comprehensive social media strategy for our online retail business. He was proactive from the start – he had researched and analysed our brand and profiles before our first meeting, arriving with a set of proposals ready to discuss.

    Working with Steven was a pleasure – his ideas struck the perfect balance between innovative and achievable. Together, we shaped his recommendations into a clear action plan that feels both ambitious and realistic for our business. Highly recommend.

    It’s always a joy to get a commission from Steven. He briefs clearly, is encouraging when guidance is needed, and gives useful and honest feedback. Clarity is key to nailing content first time, and that’s what he gives. And he does all that with a refreshingly wry sense of humour.
