Happy Friday, everyone. To kick off the weekend, we have compiled some of our favorite pieces from The Masters Review archives: our past contest winners. From a story about girls who turn into deer to a piece set in Oregon’s scenic Malheur Refuge—you won’t be disappointed by this awesome and varied list. So go ahead, jump in.

At The Masters Review, our mission is to support emerging writers. We only accept submissions from writers who can benefit from a larger platform: typically, writers without published novels or story collections or with low circulation. We publish fiction and nonfiction online year-round and put out an annual anthology of the ten best emerging writers in the country, judged by an expert in the field. We publish craft essays, interviews and book reviews and hold workshops that connect emerging and established writers.
