Fiction Daily is a cool new fiction site and the brainchild of writer/editor David Backer. A little bit about the site, which aims to be a selector and aggregator of good literature found online:

There is an abundance of literature on the Internet that cannot be published in university reviews and big commercial presses. There are small magazines, individual blogs, group websites updating their content daily, featuring new writers constantly. These are gaining readership and momentum. There are hundreds of them.

It’s hard to know where to go, what to read, or why. FictionDaily’s goal is to help aggregate and organize this sea of new literature. We try to make it accessible to readers who want to see what literature is up to. We aim to help others find the pulse of literature.

I’mextremely flattered that David’s chosen my story in Wigleaf, A History of Heart Disease, to link to on the site alongside stories by Matt Bell, Roxane Gay, Kate Hill Cantrill, and other fine writers from a host of excellent publications. My interview is here.

Thanks, David, and I’ll be checking out Fiction Daily regularly to hunt out good stories I might have missed otherwise.
