I should have posted this last week, so sorry for the “old” news, but I’m really happy to have clawed my way back into the Wigleaf Top 50 this year. Even though I only put out two eligible stories this year, the odds were with me. I couldn’t ask for a friendlier editorial board, and with Erin Fitzgerald running the show and Ben Loory starring as the marquee talent, it’s no surprise that the final lists–both the 50 and the longlist– tilt weird. Weird is good for me.
