I live in Albania, so I can't order a physical copy, but I would buy a digital pdf.

When was the first call for submissions? I'd been wanting to submit something and have been keeping an eye out for info but this is the first time I've actually seen any.

Hi Jean, looking back through the Monday emails, it was two weeks ago: https://www.topinfiction.com/p/vol2-iss2

Durnit. I don't know how I missed that.

Thank you so much for including me here. I so much enjoy your TIF selections though I am often too disorganized to submit on a timely basis! I also have been popping in to your live sessions and really like the vibe. Thank you for the time, care and energy you put into this stuff- really becoming a ‘staple’ of Substack IMO. 🥰🫶🏼😊

Thanks so much for including The Wicked Among Us!

Erica, really enjoying the live broadcast as well — lots of great insight 😊 congrats to everybody included in the digest!

Thanks! I hope to get a better rhythm for doing them over time so that in a couple months it’ll just be second nature to me.

Erica - thank you for your patient education of all of us around the Friday vs Monday emails. So interesting how we can call "run a story"...that may be the exact opposite to actual fact! So, totally hear you...and you have my word that I will be a Friday regular. Hah!

I’m glad to hear it, Sue. You’re not the only one who had doubts about Friday. I hope to hammer it home as often as possible.

And, it is still *nice* to be selected from time to time (we're human after all!)...and you know, insecure writer types who crave validation 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for including 'Blackout' Erica and can't wait to see the TiF redesign.
