Reviews
Publisher's Weekly Starred Review: "Sanford, editor of the online literary journal storySouth, assembles a remarkable collection of science fiction and fantasy works, all originally published online and heralded in storySouth’s annual Million Writers Award contest (some are winners, others finalists and notables). Many of these stories have earned other awards and nominations, and they prove that online journals and magazines deserve readers’ respect and attention."
Jamie Todd Rubin, Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show: "We are living in a golden age of short science fiction and fantasy. Having read and written a great deal about classical Golden Age science fiction, having done a pretty good job keeping up with most of the short fiction markets today, I feel I can make this statement with some authority. If further evidence is required, however, I point to Jason Sanford's recent anthology,Million Writers Award: The Best Online Science Fiction and Fantasy."
