“Dive Right Into It”: An Interview with Leland Cheuk, Sudden Fiction Guest Judge and Author of No Good Very Bad Asian

An Interview about the Creative Process with Nico Pereda, Filmmaker and Director of Summer of Goliath, Fauna, and The Private Property Trilogy

An Exchange of Letters: Interview with Grace Lavery, author of Please Miss

Kaleidoscopic Chaos: Interview with Cora Ballek, author of “The Last Snowfall” and Sudden Fiction winner

You never know what the next scenario is going to be, is it going to be something innocent like, oh, the parents let their kids play in the snow and let them live joyfully, or is it going to be nature wiping out humanity?
