BLOOM just announced the winners of its 2012 fiction and nonfiction chapbook contest, and I’m fortunate enough to have been selected as the fiction winner for my short story, “Fratricide.”  This is a great honor, and I look forward to working with BLOOM in the months to come!  (Congrats also to Julie Marie Wade, the nonfiction winner.)

Check out the BLOOM website for more about the contest and (eventually) about how to get yourself a copy!

And the South Carolina MFA program seems to be rolling in winners these days–congrats to Lauren Allen and Lauren Eyler for their Pushcart nominations.  Keep up the good work, Gamecocks.
