I’ve been a busy bee this month working on a longtime dream of mine: launching my own fiction publication, Still Life Fiction.
Inspired by the still-life art form, the publication focuses on the elements of storytelling that endure: themes, characters, and ideas that linger long after the page is closed.
Still Life Fiction is a digital publication, with plans for an annual print edition featuring selected stories at the end of the calendar year. I’m starting simply, with a streamlined website, so that I can invest more time and energy where it matters most: reading and recognizing stories that resonate with me and with readers.
Our first submission window will run April 17 – May 15, 2026, with the inaugural theme: Freedom.
Please explore the site and share your thoughts in the comments. I would be thrilled to read your work, so start thinking about stories you want to submit.
