I’ve blogged at length about how much I love Carve. Having a story appear in their pages is a real milestone in my writing life. My story featuring in the current issue aside, those of you with a love of quality short fiction really should be reading Carve. With an archive of free to read fiction stretching back to 2007, there really is no excuse not to.

In other news, the lovely folk at Carve were super nice recently and posted this congratulatory blog post on my Scott Prize shortlisting. Storm in a Teacup is one of the stories included in my shortlisted collection, Looking Out of Broken Windows.
