The short fiction landscape is crackling with change. Excitement for flash and micro fiction is as strong as ever but as many print magazines shutter, there seems to be an ever-tightening belt about the word counts of longer short stories. Panelists will discuss the challenges of writing and publishing longer short stories in today’s literary marketplace and how magazines’ shifting word count requirements are impacting the stories they tell and read.

Panel Moderator: Maegan Poland

Panel Participants: Yohanca Delgado, Tanya Shirazi Galvez, K.C. Mead-Brewer, and Michael Nye.
