Notes from Guest Reader Ilana Masad
‘Warm Milk’ evoked an immediate visceral response from me. Whether it’s being familiar with the kind of heat the author describes or the oddity of the situation, it made me feel and the language and prose style are unique.

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.
