I am thrilled to share that our editorial staff has made our selections for the 2019 Summer Short Story Award Shortlist. These ten excellent stories rose to the top among the many great submissions we received for this contest. It’s now up to guest judge Tope Folarin to select three as finalists. He has quite the difficult decision ahead of him. Thank you again to all our lovely submitters!
