Every Day Fiction
Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 7:12 PM
I got an email today that cheered me up. My short-short story called OPENING TIME will appear in Every Day Fiction at some point in the future (they're to let me know when).
Every Day Fiction is a zine that specialises in Flash Fiction, short stories of 1000 words or less. Mine clocks in at about 500. They email a piece once a day to their subscriber list, as well as posting them online. It's a good idea, and a great way to leverage technology for the good of the short story.
If I may blow my own trumpet a little, the editors had this to say about my piece:
"Perfectly crafted voice maintained all the way through. The one-sided dialogue is so nicely done that you can almost hear the other man's responses."
"Very well done, deftly handled prose. Gives a wonderful idea of this man's character, told in an original voice."

PS - Thanks to Betsy for her notes on this piece. :)

Congrats! I look forward to reading it!
WTG, Conduit!
As my sainted Irish mother used to say: "Don't hide your light a bushel."
Never be shy about posting news like this, for, at the very least, it gives us all hope of having work accepted.
What a cool idea, flash fiction delivered every day via email. Really looking forward to reading your story.
PS: Thanks for the positive comment about my BookEnds pitch, but since it'll be forever (or never) till Jessica weighs in, I decided to post it on crapometer - they ripped it to pieces, and rightly so - I can see much room for improvement. It'll be back to the drawing board for me, and then I'll take my chances with the Evil Editor.
Congrats that is awesome news!
Congratulations!
It's always nice to hear that kind of validation.
:-)
Well done Conduit! Great comments.
Congrats, Conduit!
This is my first time visiting - nice to see you're from Northern Ireland.
Thanks, Robin. :)
Yay!! Congrats!
