My laptop died and I had to print up my novel from the cloud while figuring out how to afford a new one. I didn't realize how emotional I would be, physically touching these words. Realizing that I'm actually pretty close now.

The way I read longer submissions is if the first few pages grab my attention, I print it out and read it away from a screen. This morning I fell in love with one such story, logged into Submittable to accept it, and got extra excited to see...

If you haven't read @dawnsteffler.bsky.social you don't know what you're missing. I pulled together a whack of favourites in a post, including a few from a flash-fiction novel she's working on about parenting a transgender teenager. Gorgeous, devastating and unforgettable stuff. Links here:

Doric Literary is always open for fiction submissions. 1000-8000 words. We don't want stories about Zeus. The Greek temple is a metaphor for classic short story structure - but we do send coded images with our rejections letters. (Bottom one is rarely used!) doric-literary.com/submissions-2/

Oh, man. My time working at Powell’s was one of the most important times of my life. For a few years I thought I was going to make it my entire career. Seeing this is wild. Life is wild.

Now online at Doric Literary! "In Memoriam" by @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social explores the complicated lives of those left behind following a loved one's demise. Boundaries are altered & pushed, truths & emotions are buried or brought to the surface. It's stunning! doric-literary.com/2025/05/15/i...

New work at Doric Literary! "Bluegill" by @dwdavis.bsky.social is a thought-provoking story with a surprisingly deep fishing metaphor. A complicated protagonist negotiates the aftermath of another adulterous affair & reconsiders what she's been searching for. doric-literary.com/2025/05/15/b...
