Anthologies

In late 2011, Jessica Bell and Dawn Ius founded Vine Leaves Literary Journal to offer the vignette, a forgotten literary form, the exposure and credit it deserved. This full-colour coffee table book, full of prose, poetry, art, and photography, is the final celebratory installment of Vine Leaves Literary Journal , which ceased publication in 2017, after six wonderful years of publishing extraordinary talent from all around the globe. Each vignette in this collection merges to create a vivid snapshot in time and place. Prepare for big stories in small spaces, between and beyond the words. ​ Read one at a time. Taste them. Savour them. Live them.

This is #microfiction. Stories told in a handful of sentences, a bare few paragraphs. Inside are worlds, lives, tragedies, and triumphs. Each condensed to its barest essence, able to be read in minutes. But their power is not deflated. These stories will shock, amuse, delight, horrify, inspire. They will stay with you. Crafted by dozens of today's sharpest writers, this is 200 CCs of distilled literature, ready to be mainlined. Includes stories by Scarlett R. Algee, Nicholas Antoniak, Elizabeth Archer, Davian Aw, Michael Balletti, Amanda Bergloff, R.L.
