Industry Reviews

"I know of no better representation of all that's happening right now with the micro story than the Best Microfiction anthology. What a coming together of voices, energies, experiments, visions. This is not a collection to work through, as a reader. This is a collection to savor."

-Scott Garson, Wigleaf

"When you read a piece under 400 words that stops you in your tracks, it only makes you want to read another with such power. Fortunately, thankfully, we have Best Microfiction, which gives us a book of the best. They may be short, but the pieces will last you a year, making their way into your heart and mind-just in time for next year's edition."

-Brian Mihok, matchbook
