I have a short fiction story in Issue 175 of The Threepenny Review! This is a big one for me and I'm super proud of it. You can get a copy here https://t.co/zhRdg4s7Xp

The Delmarva Review was my first literary magazine acceptance, and I cannot overstate how supportive they were. They introduced me to the idea of literary community and taught me what that looked like, for which I will always be grateful. Support #literarymagazines!

The #DelmarvaReview has released their first anthology, The Best of Delmarva Review 2008-2023. Included are two of my prose pieces: “Nursing 101" (creative nonfiction, 2011), and “Undertow" (short story, 2013) https://t.co/IYwuewfEjb

[Matt Kendrick @MkenWrites]

Wonderful tone of voice in both these pieces from @megbeingthere - "Honestly I think that maybe she should see me reacting: bunions for days, the worst hammertoe I've seen" - such a great way to reimagine the fairytale

@MkenWrites Thank you!

@mfitzwrites @havehadhavehad Thank you!

[Margaret Adams @megbeingthere]

Two new flash fictions up at @havehadhavehad today, "Cinderella at the Podiatrist" and "Rapunzel Gets Referred to the Endocrinologist"! Come for the promise of levity, stay for the sweet patina of cynicism: https://t.co/Fp4Dd3Q1ir

[HAD @havehadhavehad]

Amazing western medicine/fairytale mashups from @megbeingthere!!

"Cinderella at the Podiatrist
She comes in wearing a pair of glass heels so high and pointed, they’re obscene. Eases them off and even I, a professional, have a hard time not recoiling..."

It's pretty weird to play the "we spoke with survivors" card whilst simultaneously turning off comments because you clearly don't want to hear from any more of us.
