Vestal Review is proud to have two of its recent contributors in Best Small Fictions 2025. Our contributing editor Lucy Zhang also has a story there. Congratulations to everyone!

Sweetly funny and surreal, a pair of dreamlike micros by Mathieu Cailler: “Four of a Kind” and “My Evening with Marilyn” in -ette Issue 5. Don’t you wish life was really like this? ettereview.com/spring2025/c...

Two powerful beauties about love, loss, and renewal by Jessica Barlevi: “Forest of Light” and “Gravity.” Read them in -ette Issue 5 ettereview.com/spring2025/b... Then listen to Jessica talk with @melaniehoopes.bsky.social in the latest episode of pod-ette creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

For the music, this time I did some stripped-down piano cues. For the second interstitial, right after Jessica Barlevi's piece and interview, I recast the theme music in the guise of a famous short piano piece. Anyone got it?

Have you heard the latest episode of pod-ette, the companion podcast to @ettereview.bsky.social? It's terrific! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

“Convinced she was encoding words for only me to read, in urine or lemon juice, I purchased a black flashlight. In the bathroom, lights switched off, her papers glowing violet. ‘Sincerely’ apparently intended sincerely.” Nora Esme Wagner in @ettereview.bsky.social ettereview.com/spring2025/w...

Another great story by Nora Esme Wagner. This one came out in -ette: ettereview.com/spring2025/w...

I’ve got flash fiction “Stuck” in this fine journal. Check it out. Also, I’m interviewed on Pod—ette. I’m speaking slightly too fast but I say where the story came from and how I’m writing into this political time.

A new episode of pod-ette just dropped! @melaniehoopes.bsky.social talks to S.D. Pergola, Jessica Barlevi @amyholman.bsky.social -ette ed. @bybethhahn.bsky.social talks about her new novel. Original music by @chesterjankowski.bsky.social Listen here: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Happy Friday! -ette Issue 5 is now live! With work by Jessica Barlevi, Mathieu Cailler, @amyholman.bsky.social Devan Murphy, S.D. Pergola, and Nora Esme Wagner. Be on the lookout for some fun Easter eggs too!) Pod-ette Episode 5: The Villa of the Mysteries is also live!

Sweet book mail. Excited to finally read Kristin Tenor. Received the original art by Beth Hahn that was paired with my piece in -ette Review; tribute to my late nephew. @ettereview.bsky.social is one of the most beautiful publications going and run by the most thoughtful editors. Highly recommended.
