I have been trying for a long time to get a story accepted by Smokelong Quarterly, a flash fiction magazine I admire greatly. Finally, it has come to pass! Read my story, Coat and Shoes, beautifully illustrated by Robinson Accola, and the accompanying interview. I am alongside some fabulous writers: Stefanie Freele, Barry Graham, Kuzhali Manickavel, and names that aren't familiar to me but whose work I look forward to reading. Every issue of SQ is a treat.

Coat and Shoes in Smokelong

Congrats T. and the added sparkle of being asked to submit! Its nice when that happens... I just had a request from a UK mag. Thing is, what do I send? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteBut I always quote Smokelong when Im doing any flash work in teaching... and also refer to it in the text book coming out soon. I think it is a source of really good flash work.
Very nice. Understatement is such a rare talent!
ReplyDeleteGreat story and a great place for it to be published. Go you!
