Welcome
Riptide is a bi-annual anthology of new short fiction by both established and emerging writers. We are committed to providing a forum for high quality, innovative fiction, expanding the readership of the short story genre and enhancing its standing. We invite work by prominent authors who believe in the continuing importance of the short story, but we aim to include new voices in every issue.
Volume 3 of Riptide is now available. This latest collection contains stories by Ginny Baily, Wendy Brandmark, Paul Brownsey, Gordon Collins, Kate Dunton, Jane Feaver, Penny Feeny, Sally Flint, Liz Gifford, Luke Kennard and Tom J Vowler. The introduction is written by award winning writer John Burnside who teaches at the University of St Andrews. John’s most recent publications are The Devil’s Footprints and Glister. In 2008 he has published a collection of lyric poetry Goose Music co—written with Andy Brown, Director of the Centre for Creative Writing and Arts at the University of Exeter.
