The eagerly awaited follow up to Monkeybicycle’s star-studded humor issue, Monkeybicycle6 is filled to the brim with short stories and poems from award-winning authors.
Works in Monkeybicycle6 are broad in scope. They are funny, sober, short, and long. There is something in there for readers from every genre. And despite their incredible diversity, the pieces that make up this book all have one thing in common: amazing quality. Every single contributor knows what it takes to tell a great story.
Over the past six years, Monkeybicycle has gained a reputation for publishing only the best in upcoming and already well-known literary voices. Past contributors include Samantha Hunt (The Invention of Everything Else), Steve Almond (Candy Freak), Ryan Boudinot (The Littlest Hitler), Dan Kennedy (Loser Goes First), and many, many others. Works from past issues have twice been included in The Best American Nonrequired Reading anthologies, and works from Monkeybicycle’s weekly Web site have twice been runner-up for the storySouth Million Writers Award.
Monkeybicycle6 is the second issue of the journal to be printed under the umbrella of Dzanc Books, the up-and-coming small press out of Ann Arbor, MI. With their support, Monkeybicycle has grown to become one of the most respected small literary journals out there. And plans to expand its vision are in the works.
