<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear very esteemed colleagues in the Departments of Creative Writing and English!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">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:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thank you so much for sharing this with your students and colleagues at UCR and beyond, and even considering submitting yourself!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Many thanks, and I remain very much in great appreciation of you all!
