DNA-Out of Print Short Fiction July 2014: The Longlist

The DNA-Out of Print Short Fiction Feature, 2014
The Longlist

We had a tremendous variety of submissions to the DNA-Out of Print Short Fiction Contest. Rather unfortunately, a few were sent as attachments and could not be read and some violated the word count restrictions beyond our rather flexible filters. But of the ones we did read, 30 made the longlist. They are listed in order of submission date.

Thank you authors for your strong thoughtful writing. Identifying the shortlist is not going to be easy.

  1. Ram's comment in response to the pre-announcement avatar of this post that read: The theme, choice. The prize, the honour of publication, the prize money, enticing.
