One of the best things about this year’s theme is that the submissions transported us into an abundance of vastly different forests and we can’t wait to guide you through some of those landscapes in a few months when we publish the anthology. In the meantime, here are twenty-two superb, previously published pieces from our longlist to keep you entertained. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
