My next four-week online Flash Fiction Course begins August 9, 2010. It fills quickly so sign up soon. See details at http://www.flashquake.org/vol9iss4/online-classes/index.html (I limit the course to ten participants so I can give it my closest attention.)

ForeWord Magazine awarded a Bronze Medal (in their Writing Category) to Rose Metal Press’s Field Guide to Writing Flash Fiction in their Book of the Year Awards. The criteria they use for their awards include editorial excellence, originality of subject matter, accuracy, contributor credentials, and professional packaging. Finalists are determined by a jury of judges consisting of editors and reviewers of ForeWord Reviews, booksellers, librarians, and other industry professionals. It should go without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that I’m pleased to have my article included in this fine collection. See the info (and other winners) at http://www.bookoftheyearawards.com/winners/2009/category/writing/
