I wrote a ghost story in a @SmokeLong workshop and it's published in the fall issue of @thecitronreview just in time for spooky season!

Our fellowship used to promise to pay one recipient for 4 workshopped stories, which worked out well for some, not so well for others. Our fellowship now offers monthly feedback for six months for up to 4 emerging writers. And now it's free to apply. smokelong.com/the-smokelong-…
