Big Bad
Big Bad is the winner of our Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction. The story “The Entertainer” won a Pushcart Prize this year. There are currently blurb requests out with Aimee Bender, Kelly Link, Carmen Maria Machado. Whitney previously worked as a reviewer for Barnes and Noble, so there is already a strong connection there. We’ll market to fans of books like Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties. There will be spot gloss on the cover.
Whitney Collins’s fiction has appeared in Ninth Letter, The Southeast Review, Grist, The Pinch, Moon City Review, Quarter After Eight, The Laurel Review, Lumina, and Raleigh Review, among others. She is the recipient of a 2020 Pushcart Prize, a semifinalist for American Short Fiction’s 2019 The Short(er) Fiction Prize, and her flash horror is forthcoming in Catapult’s Tiny Nightmares anthology. Big Bad was the 2019 winner of Sarabande Books’s Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction. Collins lives in Kentucky with her husband and two sons.
