The Best Small Fictions 2018 by Aimee Bender
Fiction. Poetry. THE BEST SMAL FICTIONS is the first contemporary anthology solely devoted to honoring the best short hybrid fiction published in a calendar year. The series, which began in 2015, has featured an international group of both seasoned and emerging authors who work in flash, micro fiction, prose poetry, haibun, and other hybrid forms. Tara L. Masih founded this annual series and now serves as consulting editor. For our 2018 edition, we welcomed Sherrie Flick as series editor and Pushcart Prize winning author Aimee Bender as guest editor. This latest edition includes 53 works by writers such as Lydia Davis, Rumaan Alam, Diane Williams, Kathy Fish, Matt Bell, Aleksandar Hemon, Maxim Loskutoff, Michael Parker, Meg Pokrass, Deb Olin Unferth, and Desiree Cooper. Past guest editors have included Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler (2015), PEN/Malamud Award winner and O. Henry Prize winner Stuart Dybek (2016), Rea Award and PEN/Malamud Award winner Amy Hempel (2017).
SHERRIE FLICK is the author of the award-winning flash fiction chapbook I Call This Flirting, the novel Reconsidering Happiness, which was a semi-finalist for the VCU First Novelist award, and the short story collection Whiskey, Etc. Her flash fiction appears in many anthologies and journals, including Flash Fiction Forward and New Sudden Fiction, Ploughshares, Booth, and SmokeLong Quarterly. She has received fellowships from Sewanee Writers' Conference, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Ucross Foundation, and Atlantic Center for the Arts. She lives in Pittsburgh where she works as a freelance writer and teaches in Chatham University's MFA and Food Studies programs. She has two new titles forthcoming in fall 2018: a short story collection from Autumn House Press and a book of narrative nonfiction.
