The annual New Stories from the South collection was one of my favorite resources for short stories. I'm thrilled that @blairpub.bsky.social is bringing it back next year.
The annual short story anthology, originally published by Algonquin from 1986 through 2010, will collect works of fiction by Southern writers or about the Southern U.S. North Carolina small press Blair will bring the anthology back starting in fall 2026.
