This is a series that further explores the publishing opportunities that the online space provides, and lets us publish more than the twelve stories we traditionally print each year. It’s a project that allows more writers to be published and those writers to find even more readers. It also offers practical publishing experience to emerging editors, something that’s hard to come by. The series will be continued in early 2013. Read 207.5: winter fiction, edited By Miranda Camboni and featuring Tara Goedjen, Debbie Lustig and Jane Jervis-Read.
