Dear Glimmer Train Readers and Writers,

In this issue:

Upcoming deadlines, results, changes:

  • Standard story submissions are also welcome through January.
  • We will wrap up the October Family Matters competition by the end of this month, results will post here.
  • Winners of our last Fall Short Story Award for New Writers have been notified, and the Top-25 list is posted! (And you can always check status of your online submissions by logging in and clicking on My Submissions.)
          1st place: "Mr. Dabydeen" by E.A. Durden
          2nd place: "Korean Wedding" by Hubert Ahn
          3rd place: "57 Gatwick" by Patrick Hicks

Thank you all for your kind comments about our shorter turnarounds and our decision to allow simultaneous submissions; those were big decisions for us. It keeps us moving at quite a pace, but it’s exciting!

Looking forward,

Co-editors and sisters
