Michael Calvillo gifted our last issue of 2022 with a gem of a story - A Desperate Mind - and thankfully he was kind enough to give us a bit of time so we could pick his brain about writing, submitting, and flash fiction. Having said that though, you all know where this is going to start.

Michael, what was the first book you remember picking and reading by yourself?

Lewis Millholland lent his story 'Asphalt Jesus' to NUNUM's Fall 2022 issue and wow we were happy. Personally, I'd been looking out for a story like this for years, so when Lewis finally sent it our way it made my world just a little bit brighter.

Recently Lewis was kind enough to give us here at NUNUM a bit of his time, so keep reading and learn a little more about his influences, his habits, and his thoughts on the submission process. 

Mickie Kennedy lent our Fall 2022 issue a little piece of brilliance in the form of his flash fiction piece The Sculptor. Thankfully for us, Mickie was kind enough to give us some of his time and let us know a little more about him and his work. 

Ariel lent her story 'The Gift' to our Fall 2022 issue and gave us something to build an entire issue around once her words got blending with Janelle Cordero's art.

If you've been here before, you know how this got started, so keep reading to learn more about Ariel Kay.

Travis Stephens gave our Summer 2022 issue a wonderful gift when he sent his flash fiction piece 'Newly Fallen' our way. Luckily, we were able to sit down with Travis recently and pick his brain a little about writing.
