It’s that time of year again, when editors put on their Santa hats and make writers’ days and weeks and years. Sadly, we can nominate only two stories for Best of the Net. We wish we could nominate every damn story we publish.

A SmokeLong Summer 26 is closer than you think. This year we’re starting early and staying late. The summer just got longer.
As always, at the heart of A SmokeLong Summer is our peer-review workshop in small groups of around 15 writers, drafting to 3 writing tasks each week. Our peer-review workshop is all in writing, so you can participate from anywhere, anytime. This summer our writing tasks will be generative and thematically leaning towards community. Our theme this year: “The Global Flash Village”. Writing doesn’t have a be a game of Solitaire; it can be a team sport.
Our participants often say their writing has dramatically increased in community. A SmokeLong Summer 26 will take you around the world, introducing you to writers from every corner of our beautiful planet.
