Nominations for Best Microfiction 2024
This year, editors of literary magazines were invited to nominate up to five micro stories for the sixth annual Best Microfiction anthology. Given all the wonderful stories that Clare MacQueen published in MacQ in 2023, narrowing her choices to only five seemed impossible. Though it was painful to leave out an equal number of favorites, she’s delighted to nominate this quintet of micros:
- ⚡ Wishing Well by Dave Alcock
- ⚡ I tell Henrietta that before I left my boyfriend by Tina Barry
- ⚡ Don’t Look by Mary Grimm
- ⚡ Page Torn from a Graphic Novel by Daryl Scroggins
- ⚡ Marie-Antoinette’s Nose by Donna Shanley*
Heartfelt thanks, and best-of-luck wishes to each of these nominees!
Pelekinesis Press will publish Best Microfiction 2024 next summer. More information about this anthology series is available at:

“Marie-Antoinette’s Nose” by Donna Shanley was selected by final judge Grant Faulkner for publication in the Best Microfiction 2024 anthology.
