I hope you enjoy these stories. Every first Monday of the month, I round up the stories I suggest on social media during the previous month here on the blog. In my Newsletter, I highlight a few of my absolute favorites from the previous couple of months.
Short fiction costs a lot to publish and is often free to read. Most of the stories I suggest are free to read on the websites. Please consider supporting a magazine or two through subscription or other ways.
