Top Publications "Double Album"

Since 2006, approximately 250 of my short stories, personal essays, and journalistic writings on various arts have been published. My work has appeared in 35 different outlets over this time. Following is a list of 20 of these writings about which I feel the best. I'm presenting these publications like I'm a band putting out a greatest hits collection. And it's a double album. I just wish I had the perfect gatefold sleeve to include.

So here goes:
