Small Miracles & Happy Dances

by Brianna Van Dyke December 07, 2018

With each order that comes through we seriously do a happy dance knowing that the good work of our contributors will be seen and held by more hearts and our little nonprofit is earning the funds that will help us start the new year strong. Our staff is deeply encouraged as we witness each intimate act of one human sharing something they love with another.

Stories and the Lives They Save

by Guest Blogger December 06, 2018

Stories do save lives—they always have, and they always will. We use stories to make sense of the world around us. We may sometimes turn to them for escape, and other times for answers to questions that plague us. Stories instruct. Stories uplift. Stories...validate the fact that we matter, that we are not alone.

Short Story Prize Bundle

$ 19.50 $ 39.00

In a short story there is so much to be said in a short amount of space. This precision of language helps take us to a world completely different from our own. Read fiction that explores glimpses into beauty and pain, looks into the complexities of birth and rebirth, and discusses what it means to search for wholeness.

This bundle saves you 50% off the cover price of each issue and includes three issues–Issue 27, Issue 34, and Issue 37. In addition to art and poetry, these three issues contain past winners of the William Van Dyke Short Story Prize. If you are interested in entering the short story contest, we highly recommend this bundle.
