Welcome To EgoPHobia’s Short Story section!

As fellow writers and persons exploring the creative process, we were always looking for new forums and places to both exhibit our work and latearn from others. So, we decided to begin our own place (and when we say ‘our’, we mean ‘our’)
One of the most important passages that we have encountered has to do with the idea that a higher power created our world and shapes it to his or her design.
That is exactly how we feel about the creative process.
We begin with a blank piece of paper, or a blank computer screen, and after much thought, we create a world.
That is as simple, yet profound a way of putting it as we know.
From anonymous, to emerging or accomplished writers, from simple to highly complex stories, our Short Story section will publish with every issue materials which hopefully will be recognized in time as a standard of excellence both by the Romanian and the English speaking readers.
Come and join us.
-The Editors,
Robert Fenhagen (USA)
Adrian Ioniţă (USA)
The writers interested to publish their stories, are invited to read our “Call to Submissions” page.
