CHEAP POP

Howdy, friends! It's been a minute! Our EiC @robhollywood wrote a letter explaining the hiatus CP is on, our decision to step away from Twitter for the moment & what you can expect from us in the future. Lots of love to you all. Stay safe out there. ♡ cheappoplit.com/home/a-note-20…

Hey, y'all! Still on a bit of a hiatus, but popping back on here to share our 2024 Best of the Net nominations! Congrats @ohikuare & @EliotLi2! Read their excellent pieces here: cheappoplit.com/home/botn-2024

My students have to present a deep dive on a flash piece and today my student did a beautiful reading and analysis of “Now You Know the Truth About the Moon” by @alisonlwisdom in @Cheap_Pop. It was my first time reading it and it choked me up: cheappoplit.com/home/2015/12/3…

Absolutely THRILLED that CP contributor @vivianszhu's piece "SALTWATER DOG" will appear in the upcoming BEST OF THE NET anthology. (@SundressPub) If you haven't read it, now's a good time! cheappoplit.com/home/2022/4/4/…

The 2023 Best of the Net is LIVE! Check out this year's winners, finalists, and more! Our deepest gratitude to this year's judges, readers, and staff. This is very much a labor of love, and we love you all! bestofthenetanthology.com

A huge congrats to @ohikuare and @bond_jamy! Their pieces were selected to be included in Best Microfiction 2023! 🥳

Wow, so very thrilled that my story “Tattoos” was selected for Best Microfiction 2023. Thank you to Deb Olin Unferth, @megpokrass, Gary Fincke, and the editors at @Cheap_Pop! 💜

Hey, this site might be going down but take a chance to check out our FINAL nostalgia piece. We are so proud of this season, goodness. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

"Later, I'll want to remember this night like my father does— in his midtown apartment with his midtown wife and tell his story like it's my own, where neighbors share candles and meals and cocktails." ICYMI: "Summer of '77" by @KarenCrawford_ cheappoplit.com/home/summer-of…

"..I'll want to remember this night like my father does— in his midtown apartment with his midtown wife and tell his story like it's my own, where neighbors share candles and meals and cocktails. But up here on 116th street.." @KarenCrawford_ @ @Cheap_Pop cheappoplit.com/home/summer-of…

"From our window, we witness the wilding. Friends. Neighbors. Thieves. The powerless suddenly powerful." "Summer of '77" by @KarenCrawford_   cheappoplit.com/home/summer-of…

Our final NOSTALGIA piece is going live soon! Once again we just wanted to say: We have so much gratitude. We've never been super active on Twitter—and we aren't going anywhere!—but being able to connect with y'all has been a beacon. Publishing your work has been a balm. ♡♡♡

My piece closes out @Cheap_Pop’s Nostalgia issue! #WritingCommunity

"My ears catch that word, Winnebago, a gold nugget stuck in the sieve. Sounds so Uncle Sam." ICYMI: "Amerikana" by @CherryLouSy cheappoplit.com/home/2022/8/31…

Thank you to @Cheap_Pop editors, especially @aureleos for choosing this piece! #WritingCommunity

Discovering some of my writing work shared on twitter long before I joined, thanks for posting! #flashfiction #fiction #CheapPop @Cheap_Pop

"We dream to leave everything behind. Go to where the Statue of Liberty lives. Eat McDonald’s every day. We heard the streets were paved with freedom fries and Fort Knox gold." "Amerikana" by @CherryLouSy cheappoplit.com/home/2022/8/31…
