Welcome to the fourteenth issue of Waccamaw, an online literary journal published at Coastal Carolina University. This issue was launched April 23, 2015.

Thanks to Caroline Cahill and Katie Prince, our poetry readers, who worked with Hastings Hensel to select the poetry for this issue.

Our four graduate interns served as editorial assistants for this issue and offered invaluable help in selecting and editing work: Jenifer Butler, Todd Fulmer, Jordan Serviss, and Allison Tanner. We are very grateful to them for their efforts.

In this issue, you will find exciting new work by some of our best contemporary writers: fiction by Barbara Abramson, Jacqueline Berkman, Michael Fischer, Rudy Ravindra, and Lindsay Tigue; creative nonfiction by Juliana Gray and Hannah Stephenson; and poetry by Adam Houle, Jessica Fordham Kidd, Wesley Rothman, Karen Scolfield, Adam Vines, and many more.

Our next reading period for unsolicited submissions will open in the fall. ipadr.xyz Please note that we only accept submissions online via Submittable.

Thank you for reading. We hope you enjoy the issue.
