Fusion Fragment Monthly - April 2023
The Latest from Fusion Fragment HQ
FF#16 Arrives on April 17th! You can download your very own copy for free in just one week right here: https://www.fusionfragment.com/issue-16/March Reading Period Complete: We wrapped a successful March submission period, with 373 stories sent in for the reading team and I to go over. Responses have now been sent out to everyone and the table of contents for FF#18 has now been filled (along with a good chunk of FF#19). Stay tuned for an announcement about the next reading period, which will be sometime in May. I'll also be putting together another Twitter thread soon, detailing some tips and tricks based on what was sent in during this last period.
FFer Nebula Nom: Big congratulations to FFer Jordan Kurella, who received a Nebula nomination for his novella I Never Liked You Anyway. You can get yourself a copy (currently on sale!) from Lethe Press.
