Michael Don is the author of the story collection Partners and Strangers (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2019). His stories have appeared in journals such as Washington Square Review, Fiction International, Wigleaf, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and SmokeLong Quarterly. He teaches at Penn State University and co-edits Kikwetu.
In September 2022 SmokeLong launched a workshop environment/community christened SmokeLong Fitness. This community workshop is happening right now on our dedicated workshop site. If you choose to join us, you will work in a small group of around 15-20 participants to give and receive feedback on flash narratives—one new writing task each week.
