TEXT: Meet OKD's new Associate Fiction Editor
Gina Thayer

IMAGE: Gina's headshot is framed inside an oval in the center of the image, which is layered above the center of a luna moth. The background is a pale blue with several mountainous and even rubble landscapes collaged together in the lower third of the image."[I'm looking forward to] getting to work with really cool writers, readers, and editors! There's such a collaborative spirit at OKD, and I'm excited to spend more time with a truly thoughtful and committed team of editors and readers.

And of course, extremely brilliant writers. We do a fair amount of development work at OKD, so I'm looking forward to honing those skills to, and to hopefully offer writers useful, supportive thoughts in service of their vision.

I feel quite spoiled because OKD recieves so many creative and compelling submissions every month, and it's energizing to be reminded how expansive and multi-faceted flash fiction can be. I'm looking forward to spending more time in that delicious literary soup!

If you get a chance, check out this beautiful review of @h0lc0mb.bsky.social's WOLFBABY by @ginathayer.bsky.social. "After reading, we emerge from the tunnel where we, too, have looked at things unseen. We lick our teeth and sniff the air. We check for answers, for the presence of blood." 🐺 ❤️
