Hard Choice vs. Ethical Choice
Rule Of Thumb: If you know the right answer, but don't do it because you lack courage, that's probably a HARD CHOICE. If you don't even know what the right answer is, that's an ETHICAL CHOICE.

Entire Back Catalog Available In Print!
Our Entire Back Catalog Is Now Available In Print!
For over three years, we have been bringing you our monthly philosophy/ethics short story fiction magazine as a digital download. A few months ago we added a Print+Digital subscription for those who prefer reading a print magazine.
And then we thought…”Hey, now that we know how to make print magazines, why not convert our entire back catalog?!?” So, we did.
2022 "Best Of" Philosophy Ethics Fiction Short Stories Is Out!
This year, after an extensive review process, we decided to select a "Best Of" Philosophy Ethics Short Story Fiction 2022! Congrats to those selected. These stories are available immediately on Amazon as print and digital, and as digital wherever eBooks are sold.
2022 "Best Of" Philosophy Ethics Fiction Short Stories Announced!
Each year “After Dinner Publication” selects 60 original fiction short stories with a focus on asking ethical and philosophical questions. Our monthly print (and digital) magazine has quickly grown in it’s distribution channels and is now a staple in classrooms and book clubs. Each story comes with five suggested discussion questions about the stories that allow readers and friends to dig deeper.
"Best Of" 2022 Philosophy/Ethics Short Story Voting!
Over the last several years we have done print anthologies. They were very successful, but their frequency meant they were a lot of work! They also were quite thick, sometimes over 400 pages!
As such, for 2022, we switched to a “Best Of” format. Each year we will do a “Best of” print book from the short stories for the year and publish it in February of the following year. This will be our first year and we have opted for voting!

Gearing Up For Print Subscriptions
A few months ago we did a survey of our digital subscribers to find out how many of them would prefer reading a print version of our monthly magazine. 42% of our digital subscribers said they would prefer to read us in print. So, we got to work!
