Autumn posing with the anthology where her short story was published.

My oldest daughter spent last summer at a two-week creative writing camp. She was the youngest person at the camp.

Yesterday, in the mail, she received a copy of “Brush Fire,” which is the literary journal that showcases the best work produced during the camp.

Her short story “Drowning” was published, and Autumn was pretty proud to see her name in print. This is the second time her work has been included in an anthology, but I think this one meant a lot more to her.
