SMFS Member Publication News: Art Taylor


SMFS list member Art Taylor’s award nominated short story, “English 398: Fiction Workshop" that appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine: July/August 2018 issue is now featured on the monthly podcast by EQMM.  Read by the author, the tale also features various guest voice appearances by coworkers of the English Department of George Mason University.  You can hear the slightly longer than thirty minute read by going here.  The listing from EQMM immediately follows the relevant links below which may be interest to readers.


Currently nominated for both the MWA’s Edgar Allan Poe Award and the Malice Domestic Convention’s Agatha Award for best short story, our selection this month is by Art Taylor, who debuted in EQMM’s Department of First Stories in 1995 and has become a star in the field of the mystery and crime short story. Here he is reading “English 398: Fiction Workshop,” from the July/August 2018 EQMM. Both the author and EQMM wish to thank several staff members from the English Department at George Mason University, where Art Taylor teaches, for their assistance in this reading: Mary Baldwin (a linguist), Lisa DesRochers-Short (a poet), and Jay Patel (a fiction writer)—and the reader of the story’s final section, Madison Gaines, Class of 2021, who’s pursuing a dual concentration in fiction and poetry in Mason’s BFA Program in Creative Writing.
