> kill author: Best of the Web

February 2, 2010

We’re thrilled to announce that two of the three pieces we nominated for Dzanc Books’ Best of the Web 2010 have been chosen to appear in the forthcoming anthology.

Considering that our journal was only three issues old when we made those nominations, that makes us especially grateful to BotW’s editors Matt Bell and Kathy Fish for selecting the following stories:

Jimmy and his Father and the Ways About Them
by J.A. Tyler

Proxy
by Emma J. Lannie

Congratulations to both writers, and we look forward to seeing your work in print. Details of the other names featured in the collection, plus publication dates, will appear on the Best of the Web site.

This is also another opportunity for us to thank all the contributors who have featured in our journal since we launched in June last year. The amazing line-up of fiction and poetry – of which these two pieces are just examples – has really helped to give > kill author the strong, individual identity we were looking to build.
