Read these groundbreaking stories and you’ll understand why online magazines and journals are the place to find today’s most vital and challenging fiction.

If you “are curious about the boundaries writers are pushing in short fiction, (the Million Writers Award) is a very good place to start.” – Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times “Jacket Copy” blog
