Every Day Fiction (ISSN 1918-1000) is a Canadian flash fiction magazine founded in 2007 and published by Every Day Publishing Ltd. It is currently published on a daily schedule.
Contents
Every Day Fiction publishes flash fiction stories of all genres, and podcasts stories that have a high level of appeal with their readers. Additionally, they publish a yearly Best of Every Day Fiction anthology consisting of the 100 best stories appearing in the magazine that year. They have nominated work for the Pushcart Prize. In part because of its relatively large audience, EDF has placed highly in the Preditors & Editors Readers Choice Poll and in 2010 Shaun Simon's story "Snowman" won 1st place in its category.
In 2010, Every Day Fiction was listed by Writer's Digest as one of the 50 Best Online Literary Markets, and has been cited by numerous print sources including the Wall Street Journal, the Vancouver Sun, and the StarPhoenix.
History
Every Day Fiction is notable for being one of the first online fiction magazines to abandon the print model that had been migrated onto the web by its contemporaries, and instead focus on a format in use by several major blogs—dynamic content published in high volume. A key component of the site has been its focus on social media, with readers being able to vote and comment on stories
The model proved to be popular, and in 2008 Lapp boasted that the site had "nearly 1,500 RSS and e-mail subscribers, averaging over 10,000 unique readers a month".
Editors
In 2009, founding editor Jordan Lapp won 1st place in Writers of the Future and announced that he would be retiring from the day-to-day operations of the magazine in order to focus on the magazine's parent company, Every Day Publishing Ltd, which has since launched or acquired three more magazines: Every Day Poets, Flash Fiction Chronicles, and Ray Gun Revival.
