Best Microfiction 2023 is Almost Here!

Best Microfiction 2023 is almost here! My contributor’s copy arrived this week, and I’ve been poring over the gems in these pages, humbled to have a story among them.

Thank you once again to editors Meg Pokrass, Gary Fincke, and Deb Olin Unferth for choosing “Windows” to appear in this beautiful collection of literary short stories, and huge thanks to Fractured Lit for the nomination.

“These are small, arresting stories that cut right to the heart of the matter, demonstrating that a story well told, no matter how small, expands beyond the space it inhabits.”—Robert Scotellaro, Author of God in a Can and Ways to Read the World 


“Yes, this is how it is done. Beautiful, brooding, erotic, mysterious, idiosyncratic words shaped into thunderbolts, shocks that reveal what we didn’t know we know. Words filled with promise, bewildering and enchanting us. This is flash at its best, flash now.”—Jane Ciabattari, Columnist, BBC Culture, The Literary Hub 

The release date for Best Microfiction 2023 is July 10. You can preorder a copy here.

    Congratulations! I just pre-ordered my copy. I figure if I want to dip a toe into Microfiction, might as well learn from the best!!!!

    • Thanks for preordering, Carrie! I’d love to read some microfiction from you. I’m sure you would write as beautifully as you do in all other formats. 🙂
