It’s been an amazing experience to work with series and managing editors Nathan Leslie and Michelle Elvy and fellow Associate Editors, Barbara Byar, Damian Dressick, Lynn Mundell, Mandira Pattnaik, and Charles Rammelkamp on this year’s Best Small Fictions anthology! Best Small Fictions is the first-ever contemporary anthology solely dedicated to anthologizing the best internationally published short hybrid fiction in a given calendar year. Now in its eleventh year of existence, Best Small Fictions features the best microfiction, flash fiction, haibun stories, and prose poetry from around the world.
