Flash Memoir: Dear Pre-Cancer Me


Listen Later

In this episode you are going to hear a collection of short pieces we are dubbing “Flash Memoir” from our archives.  These are little gems we’ve published in Wildfire Magazine, read for you by April Stearns.  We have 9 years of published stories in our archives that are just too good not to share. In the past we used to do a call for submissions for short form stories with a very specific prompt in mind.  We would get back some very impactful bite-size vignettes - not long enough to be a full essay. This collection of dense & sparkling flash memoir pieces comes from our 2020 “Survivorship” issue of Wildfire Magazine.  The writing prompt wasDear Pre-Cancer Me” with pieces written by Mackenzie Rockcastle, Tiffany Dyba, Kristie Vinopoll and Julie Gauvin.
