Quick Fiction 13
I'm not sure if I've spoken here of my absolute love for Quick Fiction, but if I haven't, I should have. The content is phenomenal, the issues are adorable, and the subscriptions are cheap. They have their latest issue out now, and it features Jack Anderson, Ryan Blacketter, Aaron Burch, Kim Chinquee, Myfanwy Collins, Avital Gad-Cykman, James Grinwis, Yuka Igarashi, Toshiya Kamei, Jeff Landon, Michael K. Meyers, Mary Miller, Christopher Orlet, Aimee Pokwatka, Scott Provence, Matthew Salesses, David Schuman, Claudia Smith, Ben Stein, Terese Svoboda, and Mark Yakich.How much do I love Quick Fiction? The number of flashes I now write in a year can typically be counted on one hand. Assuming one of those fingers is good enough for me to want to see it in print, it's going to be submitted to Quick Fiction. Seriously: if you don't already have a subscription, get one.

wigleaf interviews Quick Fiction's Jennifer Pieroni
Wigleaf, an excellent new site for short fiction, has just posted an intriguing interview with Quick Fiction's Jennifer Pieroni. This interview is sure to please with such funny, honest, and human moments as this one: We were at a bookfair once and this woman rounded the corner and started fluttering her arms and making these excited noises. I thought maybe she was about to tell me that we'd published her work or something. Instead she said "Quick Fiction! I have issue nine in my bathroom!" It was a really odd realization for me—that Quick Fiction nine was in that woman's bathroom and probably others' too.
