Koala Novels

About Koala Novels

We publish short fiction — between five and twelve thousand words — built around a single strong feeling. Stories you can read in one sitting, on a phone, between other things.

What we do

Original short stories. No translations, no anthologies, no syndication. Every story on this site was written for here.

Why short

Long fiction asks for an evening you may not have. We work in the format that respects that — a tight, voice-driven piece that earns its ending without wasting your night.

Who we are

A small editorial team. We work without bylines on this site — the focus is on the stories, not us.
