My flash fiction piece, “Fish Film,” has just been published in Issue 5 of The Mersey Review. I wrote this piece while I was abroad this summer, and drafted it again and again in order to make it publication-worthy. I aspire to publication for all of my work, but I especially wanted this piece published, as my sister enjoyed reading the original draft so much.
Publication Journey: This piece was submitted to nine different publications before it was accepted. It received several encouraging rejections (Fictive Dream, Ghost Parachute) and several form rejections (Wrong Turn Lit, Splashland Magazine, Flash Frog, The Journal of Compressed Arts). After receiving the ultimate acceptance, I withdrew it from consideration in Hobart and Passages North.
Issue 5 of TMR can be found here. Happy reading!
