Fantastic News for Alex Lumans!!!

Great news from fiction alum Alex Lumans (MFA '09):


I was awarded a fellowship to attend the MacDowell Colony. So, this fall, I'll be there for seven weeks in the deep dark woods of New Hampshire.

American Short Fiction accepted a story of mine, "The Unicorns," for publication in their web exclusives. It will be on their website in August.

The Normal School accepted my story "Limes" for publication.

I received Honorable Mention in the 2011 Press53 Open Award for Short Story and I was also a finalist in their Short-Short Story category.   http://www.press53.com/OpenAwards_2011.html

And my stories in The Yalobusha Review and The Journal are now officially out.  http://thejournalmag.org/archives/112

Congrats, Lumans!!!!
