Favorite Pieces From July

I’ve listed my favorite piece from each author below. If anyone wants to read along with me but can’t go at this pace (fair!) I’d encourage you to check this monthly post!

1. Xauri’EL Zwaan

“Normalization” | WYSR Review

The narrator fights to visit their remaining co-self in the hospital but is stymied by prejudice.

2. Wen Wen Yang

“Celebration of Life for Your Dead Fictional Wives” | WYSR Review

The women characters written by a misogynist band together to save his real wife.

3. KT Wagner

“Christmas at Grandma Minerva’s” | WYSR Review

Minerva braves the apocalypse to get a toy for her grandchildren.

4. Deborah L. Davitt

Check-In

I am back and happy to review!

I have been thinking about how to go about structuring this differently if I were to continue doing reviews past this year. Longterm, I could see myself likely scaling it back in some ways. But I think it’s important and I will try and make sure it’s possible, because I love making writers feel appreciated and seen :)
