Considering the title of this article, we’re going to keep this as succinct and brief as possible. Secondly, I’m not writing this as an author, as a publisher nor as some manner of expert in the art of literature. I’m writing this critique simply as a lifelong reader of fiction and more specifically “genre fiction”. Those who would argue that I, as a reader, have no rightful ground to stand on from which I cast my criticisms are exactly those who I aim to address. The Bizarchives is a very young publication, we haven’t even reached our 1 year mark yet. However, I would humbly argue that our strong debut and rapid climb demonstrates the value of brevity in fiction and that the pulp era formula of punchy short form storytelling is as potent today as it was all those decades ago.
