Best Microfiction 2020 Anthology!

Posted on by

Wow wow wow! My microfiction story “The Horses Are Ready and They Need to Go” has been chosen to be included in Best Microfiction 2020 Anthology! What a delightful piece of news especially as fiction is my third genre, after poetry and creative nonfiction. Golly. Thank you so much to Lisa Ampleman, Jess Jelsma Masterton, at The Cincinnati Review for first publishing the story, to Best Microfiction Series Editors Meg Pokrass and Gary Fincke, and to this year’s judge Michael Martone for selecting it for the anthology!

You can read the story (and hear me read it to you) at The Cincinnati Review HERE!
