My first year as managing editor is drawing to a close — what a year it’s been! We published 40 new stories and essays in New Voices, and featured new fiction from Kathy Fish and Adrian Van Young. 26 new short stories, 14 flash, 2 essays. 4 contest winners. Thank you, thank you, to everyone who submitted their work to The Masters Review in the last calendar year. We hope to read your work again soon!
