Enjoy.
Sam Rasnake & Michelle Elvy
Isn't it rather diabolical how the stuff you nominate is way better than the stuff ultimately selected?
Way of the world. Sort of makes one want to start one's own prize, doesn't it?
'S'a fine list from an excellent venue. Kind of place you can be proud to simply appear.
As a writer, yes, of course...
Great issue and amazing list of nominations, Sam and Michelle! Congratulations, it's another great year of publishing astonishing work at Blue Fifth Review!
