![]() I'm pleased to say that my story "The Vigil" has won the 2018 Write Prize for Fiction from the literary journal Able Muse and will appear in their Winter 2018 edition. The contest was judged by New York Times-bestselling author Bret Lott. It is terrifically encouraging to have a story recognized in this way, especially after seeing it not find a place in a few other publications. Editors, readers, and judges all have divergent preferences, and sometimes the difference between a story's acceptance or failure is only your willingness to keep submitting it. "The Vigil" is just under 1,000 words, a work of flash fiction, and concerns a woman who hears a dark confession from a dying man in a hospice care facility. You can read the judge's comments and/or subscribe to the journal here.
