Applause!
A little good news goes a long way, and we have A LOT of good news! (Maybe that’ll get us through the eternity that is 2020.) Our very own Janice Obuchowski has short fiction forthcoming from Crazyhorse, the LA Review, and Saranac. I am so grateful to the editors at the North American Review for publishing my short story, “Ghost Town,” last month. And since our last newsletter, we can announce so many other new items, too: from agent representation to book deals to cover reveals.
