Honorably mentioned for the Schiff Award + “Call it a Map” in print!

Received some lovely news from The Cincinnati Review yesterday: my story, “The Exact Same Prize,” was honorably mentioned for The Robert and Adele Schiff Award! Can’t wait to see the issue and read the winning story: Robert Long Foreman’s “Awe,” which “features a documentarian who, adrift after a project gone tragically wrong, has quit his profession and is seeking…well, is seeking renewed access to the sublime, to awe. His bizarre stratagem is to arrange through Craigslist to watch a woman give birth. In Foreman’s nimble hands, Bill’s alternately comic and poignant (mis)adventures with the couple who agree to allow this make for a delightfully askew, surprisingly emotional story.”

In other good news, I was overjoyed to get this beauty in the mail on Monday–felt very lucky to have worked with the crew at Willow Springs to bring this story into the world. (You can read “Call It a Map” here, and if you want to buy your very own copy, you can order it here!)
