Year in Review

12/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Every year at this time, I take a look back at my publishing history for the year and look forward to the year ahead.  This post gives me the opportunity to thank again the journals and editors who published my work this year. 
Picture
This year I had five short stories and one essay published.  First, the stories:
  • Squalorly published my flash "Knees Like Jimmy Durante" in February.
  • SmokeLong Quarterly published "The Dentist's Parrot" in April.
  • Wilderness House Literary Review published "The Moon in Daytime" in July.
  • Corium Magazine published "Dear Squirrel" in November.
  • Jellyfish Review published "Listen to Me" in December.
I'm very grateful to the editors who selected and published my work.  Operating a literary magazine is a labor of love for these editors, and they are the unsung heroes of the literary world.

In addition to the short stories, I had one essay published.  The essay was published in the local paper, which gave it a very broad readership.  Some of my friends mentioned that they were well into reading the essay before they realized it was by me.  The essay, Valuables, was published by the San Jose Mercury News in May. I appreciate the newspaper letting readers like me contribute.

Looking Ahead

In addition to the stories that were published last year, I also had some work selected for publication that has not appeared yet.  So, in advance, I'd like to thank Spark, The Quotable, and The Laurel Review, and I look forward to blogging about those publications when they appear.

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2016.
