SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearpoint Agency, a public relations and digital marketing firm, is collaborating with Great Jones Street, the leading short fiction app, to promote the app’s expansive portfolio of contemporary short fiction and communicate its value to new markets.
Great Jones Street was launched in late 2015 by serial entrepreneur Kelly Abbott and has grown to be the largest annual buyer of short fiction today. With short fiction experiencing a revival, Great Jones Street offers the perfect bite-sized entertainment and welcomed break in today’s fast-paced world.
