Dear very esteemed colleagues in the Departments of Creative Writing and
English!



I write to you today on behalf of my friend, publisher Rusty Morrison, of
Omnidawn Press. She indicated that they are still seeking fiction entries
for the annual Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction Prize for 2022. Here’s a link to
the information:

Thank you so much for sharing this with your students and colleagues at UCR
and beyond, and even considering submitting yourself!



As you might know, my work was chosen for the 2020 Fabulist Fiction Prize
and my novella The Ghost Trio is coming out next month through University
of Chicago Press. As a result, I’m so honored to participate in the 2023
Writers Week. I have loved working with Rusty and her partners in
publishing, Ken Keegan (who sadly died this fall), and Laura Joakimson. I
think working with Rusty and Laura would be a wonderful experience for any
writer and especially our UCR students who have yet to publish.



Many thanks, and I remain very much in great appreciation of you all!
