Letter from the Fiction Selection
Committee:
Fiction is a journey. It is a beginning, middle, and end; it starts in an interesting
place and ends leaving one ready to wander into their imagination. It rolls over
us and submerges us, and beneath the tide we are confronted with a special sense
of wonder.
Fiction is the flow of inspiration between author and reader that creates this wonder,
a spark that encourages the reader to explore the story and themselves. Perhaps
it’s a giant monster that is a town, or a girl who has not yet fully grown, but
through any plot, fiction unites human emotion with the very human need to
make art.
Our goal was to publish stories that engaged our ability to wonder. Wonder about
the world and the characters the authors created and the world that we reside in
now. Most often, we found this wonder through authors’ unique voices, bold stylistic
choices, gripping plots that pushed towards meaning, and that unutterable,
intangible pull of each story’s “magic.” We invite you to walk the path, to take the
dive, to find the spark within yourself and within this selection of work.
