What’s Next? Short Fiction in Time of Change
Edited by Sharyn Skeeter

Transition and change are 21st-century lived experiences. We want to know “what’s next” in our relationships, environment, societies, politics, and everything else that touches our lives. “What’s Next?” is an anthology of short fiction that creatively explores these questions. Editor Sharyn Skeeter personally reached out to a diverse group of contemporary fiction writers and curated the book to reflect our changing times. Rather than include mostly pandemic stories, the editor kept the topics open and the event will reflect a refreshing diversity in modern fiction.
