At the risk of turning this blog into one long series of brag posts, I’m happy to share that my short story “Lower Strata” is in the running for Spillwords‘ Publication of the Month. The story is one of sixteen nominees, each selected, according to the literary magazine, “100% based on the popularity within the last 30 days.”
Now, the decision to decide which publication earns this distinction falls to the readers, who can cast their votes here. (To vote, you’ll need to sign up for Spillwords. But it’s a fine little literary magazine, and unlike other publications, the Spillwords folks don’t pelt you with emails, so signing up won’t burden you much and will help the magazine grow its audience.)
Whichever story, poem, or creative nonfiction piece gets the most votes will be prominently featured on the Spillwords website throughout the month of December.
If you’ve read “Lower Strata” and found it worthwhile, I would be grateful for your vote.
Voting closes November 29.
Thank you.
