From all of my years of writing, I’ve steeled myself for negative feedback, for rejection. Imagine my surprise when I find that my book is receiving such positive feedback. Truly, my cup runneth over! This has been an incredible week of reviews and interviews, for which I am ever so grateful.

Today, I woke up to an interview between my friend Matthew Quick and me (at the end of the interview there is an opportunity to win one of two copies of my book).

Earlier in the week,  Michelle Bailat-Jones posted a beautiful review of Echolocation at Necessary Fiction

Over at LitStack, Jennifer M Kaufman posted a wonderful review of Echolocation AND an interview

Last but not least, over at The Quivering PenDavid Abrams posted a review of Echolocation’s book trailer 

Thank you to Matthew, to Michelle and Necessary Fiction, to Jennifer and LitStack, and to David and The Quivering Pen. You are all wonderful and I will never forget your support.

“Echolocation is a perfect little book about reality hitting hard. It’s about necessary roughness and begrudging tenderness, and it swallows one up while reading. I certainly look forward to experiencing more of Myfanwy Collins’ work.” Sara Habein, Glorified Love Letters.

This short is utterly breathtaking. I had goosebumps over and over as I watched it.

I’m excited to have work included in Stripped. Here’s the blurb:

“Stripped is a collection with a twist. Yes, the fiction contained herein includes works from some of the best-known names in flash fiction as well as the work of emerging writers, but the bylines have been removed so you can’t tell who wrote what. What’s more, the stories hinge largely on gender roles – but with the authors’ identities stripped from their stories, editor Nicole Monaghan has created a bit of a guessing game. Did a woman, for example, write that piece about ambivalence toward motherhood? Or was it a man? More to the point, does it really matter? Or is there something bigger going on when men and women stretch their minds and imagine what it might be like to be the other? Authors include Meg Tuite, Michelle Reale, Myfanwy Collins, Tara L. Masih, Marc Schuster, Michael Martone, Nathan Alling Long, Curtis Smith, and Randal Brown.”
