Asia Writes's Featured Story "Brothers" - Finalist for Best of the Net 2010
Congratulations to O Thiam Chin whose short story "Brothers" was a finalist for Best of the Net 2010. See the list here.

O Thiam Chin's story was featured on Asia Writes last May 7, 2010 and was handpicked by Ms. Susan Abraham for nomination to Best of the Net last September. As a finalist, "Brothers" was among the 10 short stories adjudged as the best for 2010. Over 115 journals worldwide participated this year.

Sundress Publications' Best of the Net Anthology works to promote the diverse and growing collection of voices that are choosing to publish their work online, a venue that still sees little respect from such yearly anthologies as the Pushcart and Best American series. The collection hopes to bring more respect to an innovative and continually expanding medium.

Sundress Publications' judge for short story this year was Michael Knight, author of two novels, two collections of short stories and a collection of novellas. Michael Knight's fiction has been published in magazines and journals like Esquire, The New Yorker and Oxford American and has been anthologized in Best American Mystery Stories, Best of the South, and New Stories from the South: The Year’s Best 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2009.
