Short Fiction
 
 

This is not a complete list of all short fiction Janet Berliner has ever written or sold, but will give you plenty of good reading. It should be noted that any story published prior to 1994 would have been under the byline "Janet Gluckman," and many of the stories published in 1994-95 were under the byline "Janet Berliner-Gluckman" to ease the transition back to Janet's birth name.

Several of Janet's stories are available in electronic format from FictionWise.com. Note that for odd technical reasons, Janet's name is listed as Berliner-Gluckman on all works on the FictionWise site.

Stories are listed in inverse date order, forthcoming works first, followed by most recent publications through older works.

For space reasons (too many collaborators), I have not listed the two round robin stories to which Janet contributed for Lone Wolf Publications' Red Red Robin Project charity anthology. Those two stories are "String Theory" and "In-Betweeners."

Happy reading. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
