Once again, I was delighted to see that we published a number of stories this year that qualify for the Best Microfiction anthology, which limits writers to 400 words. Among the qualifiers were these terrific standouts:

When the Cowbirds Come to Carry Your Sister Away ~ Audra Kerr Brown

Avery and Jacob ~ Perry Genovesi

Reservoir ~ Suzanne Hicks

Lesson One: Simona ~ Kati Bumbera

Its Meanness to the World ~ Jon Doughboy

Congratulations, and good luck in the competition. Last year, maybe you’ll recall, one of our nominees was selected for the anthology.

Readers, take a look at all of these and start sending good vibes for your favorites!
