From the Editors
Our major news right now is a change in the editorial team at Every Day Fiction. We are sorry to lose Elissa Vann Struth as an editor at EDF; however, both Carol Clark and J.C. Towler have stepped up to take on her duties. Since to some degree editors’ personal tastes do influence what gets published, it will be interesting to see how Carol and John shape EDF’s choice of fiction going forward.
For Readers:
We have several great stories leading up to Father’s Day this month, starting with “The Nose on my Face” by Mary J. Daley on June 17th, followed by B. Jones‘ “No” on June 18th and Ruth Schiffmann‘s “Brush Strokes” on June 19th, and finally featuring “Renewal” by Wayne Scheer on Father’s Day, June 20th.
Our usual mix of stories for the month includes the return of Robert J. Santa and Cathryn Grant, among others, and we welcome newcomers to EDF such as Drake Koefoed and Elizabeth Creith.
For Writers:
We’ve had an almost complete changeover of slush readers this past month (only Michelle Jager is staying on), and we’re pleased to announce three slush readers so new that they don’t even have bios up on the staff page yet: Laura Crowe, Shelley Dayton, and Patricia La Barbera. Watch that page over the next week, though, so you can get to know the people who will be reading your work.
And now, the stories for the month ahead…
