Shortlisted Stories for the Amy Wahl Short Story Prize for Teens

It was quite a challenge to choose the stories to send to guest judge, Dana Mele, but we are excited to announce the 10 stories we will be publishing in Fancy vol 1.1 this fall.

Each of these authors will receive a contributor's copy of Fancy and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners be selected from among them.

All of us at Double Dessert Press are happy to be publishing such talented young authors in our first issue of Fancy!
