Elissa Field

Yesterday, I ordered an art photo of a woman's tattoos, a glass paint palette, and this vintage bowler hat, being shipped from France. So is that level 16 or 17 of lockdown? Or have I veered off onto some side quest?

You asked, we delivered! Not only are submissions for both the journal and miCRo OPEN, but we've transitioned to Submittable! We can't wait to read what you send our way!

It's sign-up time for Fitness. We'll be inviting new participants to join the workshop the last week of March. Come write with us. We are definitely not a cult. #notacult smokelong.com/smokelong-fitn…

"The filly was born perfect. Almost impossible to believe –..." 💘 @elissafield does it again. Fab story in @frazzledlitmag

@_AndreaBishop @frazzledlitmag Thanks for sharing!!

We're reading for the March issue until Feb 15, but we're also opening the reading period for The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction on Feb 1. After Feb 15 (until May 10), we'll be reading ONLY for The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction (grand prize $2500).

This amazing photo was taken by my cousin Erik at the protest in Minnetonka yesterday. This man is 82 years old and was out in the cold standing up for democracy 🇺🇸❤️

BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport. The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS. So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.

Our latest issue dropped last Sunday. If you've not had a chance to look at it yet, you can find it here! frazzledlit.com/p/issue-4-has-… Our writers would love it if you looked!

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy." nytimes.com/2026/01/12/us/…

Thrilled the filly story I wrote in Aug, "Perfect Star," has gone live @frazzledlitmag today. Thanks awesome editors Jennifer & Laura, & thanks Flash Pack & @SmokeLong workshop peeps who were first to read it! #fiction #shortstory #elissafieldfiction tinyurl.com/3cxejzz8

And just like that, issue 4 is live! We are indebted to all our contributors, our readers, and audience. Thanks to the amazing @AuthorJmcm For putting together another terrific and most gorgeous issue. frazzledlit.com/p/issue-4-has-…

We've become so accustomed to cowardice and capitulation that quiet dignity and real courage shine all the brighter.

We are so grateful for all the kind words, comments and readers we have had through the door since yesterday! More praise here for our staff readers also @dragontripper @PaulWritesPoems @LouLouMach @Kerry_Byrne We couldn't have done it without you. frazzledlit.com/p/issue-4-has-…

Delighted to have my second story in the wondrous Fictive Dream. It’s a tale of dreams, disillusionment, property capitalism, white privilege, neocolonialism and the importance of having a nice view. (There is definitely a bit of me in the main character.) fictivedream.com/2026/01/11/ful…

@andrewbertaina @lesliepwriter @unnamedpress Great title!
