· in

Greetings NANO Fictionites!

We’ve got a lot of news and events happening here with NANO Fiction, so as we enter the final year of planet earth (nobody’s sick of hearing that, right?) why not cozy up with some copies of our newest issue?

ISSUE 5.1

NANO Fiction is entering our fifth year of publication, and we’re doing it in style! Our newest issue features terrific work from the third annual NANO contest winner Sarah E. Harris, as well as work by these other great writers:

Miah Arnold,Carroll Beauvais, Sonya L. Bilocerkowycz, Christopher Citro, Shome Dasgupta, Jesse DeLong, Erik Doughty, Meredith K. Gray, Lauren Hall, Joshua R. Helms, Kyle Hemmings, Judy Huddleston, Paul Kavanagh, Lindsey Kempton, Meghan Lamb, Robert Lunday, Meggie Monahan, Kevin O’Cuinn, Erica Olsen, Adam Peterson, Jason Poland, Matthew Salesses, Chantel Tattoli, Elizabeth Wade, Joshua Ware, David Wirthlin, Nicholas Y.B. Wong, Brennen Wysong, Matthew Yeager, David Yost, & Jessica Young.

We’re very happy, obviously, to remind you that we ALWAYS SELL OUT, but you might not be so happy if you miss out on this great issue, so pick it up while you’ve got a chance!

WINTER SALE

Isn’t winter lousy? The short days, the low clouds, the cold – why not cure some of that seasonal affective disorder with a two year, $20 subscription to NANO Fiction? This sale ends January 20th, so quick! Do it! Mathematically you’d save $8 off the cover price, which is basically like getting one and one seventh of an issue for free!

AWP IN CHICAGO

NANO Fiction will be at AWP this year, so please stop by our joint table with matchbook, number P11. We’ll have great subscription deals as usual, maybe a few t-shirts, and all of the lovely editorial staff! We’ll be running a PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT for a free subscription, so be sure to come by early and often. Oh, and more free buttons!

Additionally, editor Glenn Shaheen will be on a panel about the nature of flash submissions with Ed Mullany from matchbook, Roxane Gay from PANK, Adam Peterson from The Cupboard, and Nancy Stebbins from SmokeLong Quarterly. That will be in R119 on Thursday at 9 am, which is a ballroom according to programming so obviously (hopefully) a dance party will break out.

SUBMISSIONS

As always, we’re accepting submissions year round, so please submit, and tell your friends! We’re reading for our spectacular tenth issue, so get in your best work now! We’re using Submishmash by Submittable, which we cannot praise enough. Go here and send us a something!
