The 2019 Raven Short Story Contest Longlist

An Unkindness of Ravens

What’s unkind about the Raven Short Story Contest?  Why, making us choose, of course!  It’s never easy deciding which stories will make the cut.  Sometimes it’s like choosing between apples and automobiles: both are useful, and many are beautiful, but I wouldn’t want to ride in one or eat the other.

But choose we must.  And so here are the authors on the longlist, alphabetically by first name:

Ariel Basom

CC Smith

Claire Lawrence

Dave Kunz

Dawn Miller

Doug Harrison

Elizabeth Cockle

Erin Evans

Hannah Van Didden

John Shea

Jonathan Sean Lyster

Kim Martins

KT Wagner

Laura Kuhlmann

Leslie Wibberley

Mara Vranjkovic

Matthew Vickless

MFC Feeley

Michael Donoghue

Rob McInroy

Robert Bose

Robert Runte

Soramimi Hanarejima

Taryn Pearcey

VJ Hamilton

Thank you, writers, for being so unkind to us, and congratulations on winning us over this far with your words.  The shortlist will be published soon!
