SmokeLong’s founding editor Dave Clapper says:

“It seems that many awards in people’s names are established posthumously. We’re ecstatic that we can recognize Kathy Fish while she’s still very much alive and kicking. As she stepped down as our Fiction Editor, we at SmokeLong wanted to recognize Kathy’s enormous contributions to the magazine and to the writing community as a whole. In particular, Kathy has always been a great champion of new writers and has exhibited an uncanny talent for finding previously unpublished writers whose work just shines.

We want to foster that sort of commitment to new writers, and in that vein, we created the Kathy Fish Fellowship. All writers previously unpublished in SmokeLong Quarterly are eligible to apply.”

Prize is $500. There is no application fee.
