July’s Table of Contents

From The Editors

We hope you enjoy whatever holiday(s) you happen to be celebrating this month — there are a few of them around the world (if Canada/Dominion Day, Independence Day, and Bastille Day aren’t enough for you, go Google “Flitch Day”).

In between camping and picnics and barbecues and fireworks and all of summer’s attendant loveliness, don’t forget about Every Day Fiction. As always, we need your support and company to keep going… subscribe on Kindle for reading convenience, hang out with us on Facebook (our currently featured question is: “When it comes to reading and writing fiction, where do you fit in?”) and give us a “like” because that makes us feel all fuzzy, take a minute to comment on a story or join a forum discussion, and above all, tell your friends about EDF.

For Readers

Unfortunately, we don’t have any Canada Day stories for you (no one sent us any… sob!), but we do have a pair of what you might call alternative looks at historical times for Independence Day, so on July 3rd and 4th we will be offering you “The Past, Imperfect” by Frank Cavallo followed with “Founding Principals” by Brian K. Lowe.

For Writers

Writers, take note: we didn’t get any Canada Day or Bastille Day stories. Not one. Not even an unpublishably bad one. Think for a moment about what this means for your chances of having a special-day story selected. What holidays and special occasions are coming up in August, September and October? Consider this opportunity your inspiration.

We’re very pleased to welcome new slush reader Jonathan Cardew, who also has a story for you on July 11th — we recruited him almost simultaneously with the acceptance email for his story.
