Essay Publication Notification
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!! I just received an acceptance email for an essay I submitted following the writers’ conference I attended last spring. It’s the first time my work has been officially published (not self-published), and someone is going to have to scrape me off the ceiling! It’s soooo much more fun than a rejection letter. ![🥳](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6d/1/16/1f973.png)

Dear Katherine,
I’m pleased to inform you that your piece “Garbage Day” will be published in the forthcoming Bear River Review.I enjoy how your story turns one seemingly ordinary task into something much larger and tragic. As a contributor, you’ll receive one print copy of the Bear River Review. If you are planning to attend the conference, you may pick up your copy in person….Congratulations!Monica Rico, MFA Poetry
