Norton!
Wow. I'm sitting at my desk, sorta stunned. And incredibly excited. Just received an email from the editor of the Norton sudden fiction and flash fiction anthologies. Remember the Norton anthologies from high school and/or college English classes? Man, I sure do. I devoured those suckers. If I remember correctly, Norton was the first place I became exposed to stories like "The Lottery." Well, I didn't realize it, but Norton also has done Flash Fiction: Very Short Stories and Sudden Fiction. And they're issuing new volumes and have asked for SmokeLong to submit five pieces to be considered for inclusion in these books! I'm seriously about to wet myself.

ZOWIE!!!! Dave, that's fantastic!! Details, how did this happen?? Congrats. This is HUGE!!
Whooo-hooo! Dave, that is awesome news. Congratulations!
I have absolutely no idea how they stumbled across SmokeLong, but obviously I'm delighted that they did. I have been unable to think about much else since receiving the email. I want to go out and find every previous volume of the two anthologies and read them cover to cover RIGHT NOW.
Thanks so much for the congrats. I'm in a state of ecstatic shock. And yes, Barbara, I completely agree--choosing five pieces from the 150 or so that we've published is going to be brutal. But fun. :)
Fan-friggin'-tastic, Dave!!! And well deserved. Smokelong's made its impression and time to reap the rewards. Wooohhoooooo!
Thanks, Bev!
OUTstanding news! Congrats to you Dave and all of the Smokelongers. You deserve such a wonderful opportunity.
How amazing! Congratulations!
Thanks, Myf and Katie. :)
Congratulation. It's a fine magazine. Whether or not college students are ever forced to read it, this is nice recognition of that.
Thanks so much, Jai and Matt.
