New Hyphen Fiction Editor Seeks Short Story Submissions

Hyphen's new fiction editor, Caroline Kim-Brown, is putting out a call for short-story submissions.

Caroline is an experienced writer and editor who has taught creative writing and fiction at San Francisco State University, the University of Michigan and Tufts University. She's also been a poetry reader for the literary magazine Ploughshares. Caroline takes over for Neela Banerjee, who's left Hyphen for new adventures.

Changing editors hasn't changed what we're looking for in fiction submissions. We want well-crafted stories of 5,000 words or less that will make readers laugh, cry and think. If you've got a great story, send Caroline an email. See our submission guidelines for more information on what we're looking for and how to submit a story.

Some recent stories published in Hyphen include:

Pilgrims (What Is Lost and You Cannot Regain), Sunil Yapa's winning entry in the Asian American Short Story Contest.
Abducted by Aliens, by Claire Light, a Hyphen blogger and one of the co-founders of the magazine.

I welcome Caroline to Hyphen and your submissions to our Fiction section.
