About
The essential annual guide to the newest voices in short fiction.
Who are the most promising short story writers working today? Where do we look to discover the future stars of literary fiction? This book will offer a dozen compelling answers to these questions.
The stories collected here represent the most recent winners of the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers, which recognizes twelve writers who have made outstanding debuts in literary magazines in the previous year. They are chosen by a panel of distinguished judges, themselves innovators of the short story form: Venita Blackburn, Richard Chiem, and Dantiel W. Moniz.
Each piece comes with an introduction by its original editors, whose commentaries provide valuable insight into what magazines are looking for in their submissions and showcase the vital work they do to nurture literature's newest voices.
