Flying House Contributes to SSM 2011

In the spirit of Short Story Month, Flying House has contributed a review of Katherine Vaz's story, Below the Salt, (as featured in Ninth Letter) to Matt Bell's SSM blog. Go read it here. 


What's this all about? Matt explains:

"This May, I'll be posting about 31 stories in 31 days, with all the stories coming from the pages of recent literary magazines. There will also be guests posts from other writers and editors, sharing some of their own favorites."


Feel free to share you own favorites!  

Tuscaloosa Runs This

If "inspired" felt like the right word here, I'd use it... but due to the havoc that recently whipped through the South, Tuscaloosa writers have compiled a book full of amazing Alabama stories, poems, and remembrances––and the wonderful Brian Oliu has bounded them all together. Go here to download the eBook, and please donate (if you can) to the Tornado Relief Fund while you're at it.

Tuscaloosa Runs This includes Flying House contributors Megan Fink, Jeremy Allan Hawkins, BJ Hollars, and, of course, Brian Oliu. Plus, there's a whole lot more Flying House friends in there to check out. Plus, plus! Jeremy Allan Hawkins has written a review of it here. 

Goodbye, Tuscaloosa by BJ Hollars

Flying House contributor, BJ Hollars, looks back on the day Tuscaloosa was devastated by tornados––online now at TriQuarterly.

I haven't asked, but I'm wondering, will this make it harder or easier to leave Tuscaloosa behind? BJ will be a professor of nonfiction next year in Wisconsin. 

Megan Fink live on Red Lightbulbs

Flying House contributor, Megan Fink, has a new short story published online at the new-ish lit journal, Red Lightbulbs.
