With three coming stories, an award announcement, and a short story by Meg Pokrass now back online, it is a busy time at Doric Literary.
Above an image of the 2027 Monarch Queer Literary Awards nomination form and a blurb for Meg Pokrass' short story "Her Own Music" is the following blue text on a white background: 

On September 27, Doric Literary will announce our nominee for the Monarch Queer Literary Award.

On October 1, we will bring you THREE brand new stories!

In the meantime, if you haven’t already, don’t forget to check out “Her Own Music” by the incomparable Meg Pokrass, which has found a new online home! It is a wonderful, flash-length story about re-entering the dating scene after a failed marriage.

"The silver stork plucked my daughter Salma from the porch of our 1860 colonial during a downpour last July." @yasmeenfahmy.bsky.social's newest, up on hex this week, hit me so damn hard. The kind of story in which surrealism is the only way to capture the heartbreaks of parenting. So beautiful.

Lindz McLeod - THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY is out now! @lindzmcleod.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
The way I have been holding in this news for MONTHS! I'm so excited for you to meet jaded, grown up Lydia, and the sweet, shy spinster she's about to thoroughly debauch 🥰 It's just about the fortune hunting, okay? Lydia Wickham does NOT catch feelings. Right? ... right?
Publishers Marketplace announcement reads: Author of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY Lindz McLeod’s WICKED MRS. WICKHAM, book three in the Austentatious series, a sapphic romance set in the world of Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE in which the sweet and sheltered Mary King must team up with the utterly classless—and wickedly irresistible—Lydia Wickham in order to recover her family’s stolen fortune, to Leyla Erkan at Harlequin, in a two-book deal, for publication in winter 2028, by Laura Zats at Headwater Literary Management (world English).
