Y’all, AMY HEMPEL is judging this year’s American Short Fiction Short Story Contest! That is a Big Deal. If you haven’t read Hempel’s short fiction before, get ye a copy of her Collected Stories. Seriously, right now, get this book. And then after you’ve read everything she’s published, if you’re so inclined, enter ASF’s contest. Grand prize is $1,000 and publication. And knowing that Amy Hempel thought your story was The One, which is, of course, priceless.
