And then there was one: Congratulations to Craig M. Foster, whose story, “The Dowsing of Linus Spalding” (first published in Jabberwock Review) was chosen by our editorial staff as the winner of our first Reprint Prize! Congratulations, also, to Éanlaí P. Cronin and Seth Fischer, whose essays were chosen as runners-up. It was a truly difficult decision to name a winner for this challenge. So much excellent work is being published every day, as this contest reminded us, so we’re pleased to be a new home for these three wonderful stories and essays. All the finalists will be published online in early 2024. Stay tuned for more!
