Throughout the 1990s, Martin wrote various pieces for ''[[The New Yorker]]''.

He has also written the novellas ''[[Shopgirl (novella)|Shopgirl]]'' (2000) and ''[[The Pleasure of My Company]]'' (2003), both more wry in tone than raucous.<ref Name="Seriously"/> A story of a 28-year-old woman behind the glove counter at the [[Saks Fifth Avenue]] department store in [[Beverly Hills]], ''[[Shopgirl (novella)|Shopgirl]]'' was [[Shopgirl|made into a film starring Martin]] and [[Claire Danes]].<ref Name="Seriously">[https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,998225,00.html ''But Seriously, Folks: Steve Martin talks about his first novella, a delicate, poignant modern romance about a shy shopgirl''.
