The StorySouth Million Writers Award — notable stories

The online lit journal’s editor Jason Sanford assembled a crack team of judges (including these fine folks) and whittled down a whopping 1200 nominations to about 150 to create the Notable List, just released earlier today. It’s a huge thrill to see a slew of my friends, romans and countrymen make the list including Dave White (twice!) Duane Swierczynski, Aliya Whiteley, Iain Rowan,  and that crime fiction zines are well represented, as Thrilling Detective, Plots with Guns, Hardluck Stories, Shred of Evidence and SHOTS all made the list.

And, I must admit, it was pretty damn cool I was deemed notable on the writer and editor front.

Congratulations to each and every notable writer, and look for the shortlist of ten to be announced on March 1.
