Fifth Edition, Winter (January) 2010
This quarter's edition needs no introduction, much like the coming of this new, fresh decade. But I would like to thank all of those involved. I would like to thank the writers: Richard Zwicker, Jennifer R. Povey, Sandi Reed-Chan, and Larry Ivkovich, for submitting these great stories, and allowing me to give them to you. I would also like to thank Camille Pedraja for her help editing the introduction (what a mess that was before she got her hands on it), helping with the four short stories, and the two reviews. If Jerry Cleaver ever reads this, thank you for a great book—Immediate Fiction is a positive influence on the craft.
What you'll find when you shift into writing:
