Magpie chapbook cover

Magpie: Stories by Carrie Mumford

I recently collaborated with Displaced Snail (Joseph Carlough) and Rachel Small to create a chapbook of some of my short stories*.

The chapbook, titled ‘Magpie,’ includes 10 flash fiction pieces, 3 of which have not been published elsewhere.

If you’re interested, you can get a copy here.

* Both Joseph and Rachel (not affiliated with each other), are amazing to work with! Joseph created the beautiful chapbook, and Rachel edited and proofread the work. I’d highly recommend working with both of them if you are considering creating a chapbook of your own (or any kind of publication really). And they aren’t even giving me chocolate to say that ;)
