Summary: <br> This week we welcome a record number of guests for a lively discussion of the state of short fiction. We discuss whether or not we’re currently in a “golden age” of short fiction; the welcome growth of multicultural voices; the economic realities of the short fiction market; and how authors can build careers in such a diverse and complex publishing environment.<br> Our guests are:<br> <br> Neil Clarke of <a href="http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/">Clarkesworld</a>;<br> Charles Coleman Finlay of <a href="https://www.sfsite.com/fsf/">The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction</a>;<br> Irene Gallo of <a href="http://www.tor.com">Tor.com</a>; and<br> Sheila Williams of <a href="http://www.asimovs.com/">Asimov's Science Fiction</a>.<br> <br> We encourage you to support each of their fine publications. We'd also like to thank Charlie, Irene, Neil and Sheila for making the time to be part of the podcast.<br> <br>
