One thought on “2016 Edge Hill Short Story Prize

  1. Reviews show the Readman, Greengrass, and Evers collections include some sf/fantasy tales, too.

    I wish I’d known that, or I would’ve checked them out last year. Is there a source of good tips for recent genre stories that aren’t published as such?
