Exciting news from “Popcorn Fiction”

From screenwriter and Popcorn Fiction web-host Derek Haas:

Hello, PF readers!

First, let me tell you about the new story we have up now, and then I’ll fill you in on what’s happening with Popcorn Fiction. “El Niño Actór” centers on a Mexican man telling the story of the biggest moment of his life. It’s written by Al Rodriguez, who wrote the spectacularly bloody popcorn film MACHETE. It reminded me of some of Elmore Leonard’s short fiction, and I hope you dig it as much as I did.

So here’s the big news which you’ll notice as soon as you click on over to PF. We’ve formed a partnership with Mulholland Books , a division of Little Brown whose mission is simple…to publish books you can’t stop reading. They were huge fans of Popcorn Fiction and approached me a couple of months ago to see if we could join forces. With authors like Lee Child, Daniel Wodrell, Lawrence Block, and Mark Billingham, I couldn’t have said “yes” fast enough. When there’s a perfect fit, you know it. I will still do what I do, try to bring you the best genre short fiction I can find and keep the site solely about the stories. Let me know what you think of the new layout! Also, I’m working with them to quickly set up a submission process, so that we can accept general submissions on an on-going basis (or at least more often than I was able to do on my own.) So look for the submission button to go up soon!

That’s it. Can’t wait to hear from you regarding Al’s story and the site. Keep those letters coming! — DH

What terrific news! Popcorn Fiction provides an outlet for writers, exposes readers to cool short, stylized fiction, and now this partnership. Congrats to Derek, another example of someone creating content and seeing it pay off.
