Cincinnati Review Contest

C

Just learned that my story “The Magnificents” was selected as the prose winner for this year’s Cincinnati Review/Robert and Adele Schiff Awards.   Wonderful to win, but I’m also just happy the story will have a good home.  A great publication.

The blog post about it is here: http://www.cincinnatireview.com/blog/uncategorized/schiff-award-winners-2/

(Also glad the editors didn’t find the story too bleak.  My wife and daughter never quite believed me when I said it was funny, especially the really horrible bits.  “It’s goofy dystopian noir,” is what I wrote to myself before I started the story.  As if that’s a thing.)
