If you haven’t seen the documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, get on your Netflix account and add it to your Instant Queue. The film follows Jiro, the oldest chef to earn three Michelin stars, and the owner of the best sushi restaurant in Japan. Jiro has been developing his craft over a lifetime, dedicating his life to curating excellent sushi. Here we take a look at how a master discussing one craft, offers sage advice for those pursuing greatness in another.

(In order to be great, you must study greatness.)

And of course… smile.

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.
