#MIRLive w/ @tobylitt is absolutely packed tonight! The stories have been sublime so far.

‘Several short story collections stood out this year...the latest Mechanics’ Institute Review featured some outstanding examples of the genre.’

Thanks @iancritchley4 for listing #MIR16 alongside collections by powerhouse short story presses @Influxpress, @saltpublishing & more.

"There is violence and stolen dreams in our anthology. There are certainly broken worlds. There is also hope."

@thesailorsgirl @BernardineEvari @RSLiterature My story is smaller but it made a huge impact on my writing. I was excited to have a short published in @Editors_MIR 7 after the MA in CW @BirkbeckUoL. I met @BernardineEvari at the live reading. She was kind, supportive and gave me an enormous confidence boost

Looking forward to reading at the #MIR16 event at @TheHarrisonFolk for @mironlinebbk (and hearing reading of several of my favourite stories from the anthology too!)

I’m so proud to have my ecological fable ‘Shifting Sands’ included in #MIR16: The Climate Issue @Editors_MIR. Such an important topic to think, write & take action about. https://t.co/RQ9ItRUgDQ

Had a brilliant evening at the launch of ‘The Climate Issue’ #MIR16 last night. It’s such a beautiful exploration of ‘climate’ in all its guises. It feels urgent and engaged. Well done @Editors_MIR @JuliaBell and every contributor!
