Sam writes like a champ and looks good doing it.
Forgive us the not-so-humblebrag, but Samuel Snoek-Brown, JDP’s stalwart Production Editor, has not one but *two* Items of Literary Awesomeness happening right now, and you should check ’em out.
First, his story “Lightning My Pilot” is a storySouth Million Writers Award Finalist. Vote for it here!
Second, Sam’s new chapbook of short fiction, Box Cutters, is available from Sunnyoutside press. Buy it, read it, love it. (Don’t worry; it’s sharp in the sense of being smart and having a stylish design, not sharp like a tool Gus Fring would use to teach you a lesson.)
And you don’t have to take my word for it—here’s what Ethel Rohan, author of Goodnight Nobody, has to say: “The familiar-made-wonderfully-strange image of a ventriloquist’s dummy is just one of the many moments that has stayed with me from Sam Snoek-Brown’s Box Cutters. So too has the image of multicolored bruises, those of the body, ego, and heart. Bruises make us tender, make us hurt. Bruises simultaneously resist and seek out contact, just like the wounded and wandering spirits from these stories.”
Congratulations, Sam!
