My Ideal Fiction List Is Up on Flatmancrooked

So the folks over at the irrepressible Flatmancrooked came up with their ideal fiction anthologies and asked some of the writers they've published for their lists. Mine is up in Part III. Be sure to check out Parts I & II. I notice that many get real defensive about their lists and include disclaimers or get defiant as if expecting their choices to cause bar fights. Me included. I'm not making a point. Just noticing. I like to notice stuff.

Flatmancrooked & My Last Minute

I'm a last minute person...because I'm essentially lazy. So I thought I'd mention the 2009 Flatmancrooked Prize judged by Aimee Bender. It's deadline is, oh, Aug. 15th, which is what tomorrow? Anyway, for any procrastinators out there...

I should also mention their new innovative program called LAUNCH, where they launch the career of a new writer by asking for readers to buy shares in that career. Read more because I'm too lazy for the details. The writer in question is the cool Emma Straub, who according to the faucet of fact Facebook will write you a love letter if you launch her.

And to continue the unsolicited testimonial, because I like the cut of these people's jib, their blog articles never disappoint.

Me on Flatmancrooked

So my story "Come, Come Away to Sumerville" is featured at Flatmancrooked. And if you haven't already, you should read their great blog with series like Deena Drewis' on the state of the short story--pretty good in case you're wondering and too lazy to read, which is sad because you are, in fact, reading this very second. Relax, you've stopped now.
