updateAs our editor-in-chief Liza said in the latest update: "Everyone who supports this book is also supporting the writers and the short-story ecosystem, and providing a new venue for readers to encounter great works of written art. Maybe someone will stumble upon this anthology at their local library or their favorite bookstore. Maybe a niece, nephew, or nibling will receive it as a gift that'll kindle a deep love for short fiction. It's not just something that'll spring into existence and fade. That's wonderful, and we are truly grateful that you've given to this cause."Article6d agoPublic 0 0
