Best American Essays

I just received this notification from the International Human Rights Art Movement: “Congratulations!  Out of hundreds of pieces we published this year, your work has been chosen as one of three to be nominated for the Best American Essays anthology.  You may now refer to yourself as “Best American Essays-nominated writer”!

Whether or not ‘Red, Red Roses’ is chosen for the anthology, the honor is huge. My essay appeared in the IHRAM Magazine’s Second Quarter issue. You can purchase a print issue at this link: International Human Rights Arts Movement.

And hell yes, I will be adding the distinction “Best American Essays-nominated writer” to my CV!
