More good news for former contributor Leigh Allison Wilson! Her story "Bullhead" will appear this fall on the Public Radio show "Selected Shorts." For those of you who are unfamiliar with this program, host Isaiah Sheffer pairs short fictions with professional actors who read for a live audience in the Symphony Space studio in New York City (with occasional tours outside the city). Those of you who love short fiction are probably familiar with the show, and like us, view it as "appointment radio." Our congratulations to Leigh.
