Every Day Fiction publishes flash fiction stories of all genres, and podcasts stories that have a high level of appeal with their readers. Additionally, they publish a yearly Best of Every Day Fiction anthology consisting of the 100 best stories appearing in the magazine that year. They have nominated work for the Pushcart Prize. In part because of its relatively large audience, EDF has placed highly in the Preditors & Editors Readers Choice Poll[1] and in 2010 Shaun Simon's story "Snowman" won 1st place in its category.[2]

In 2010, Every Day Fiction was listed by Writer's Digest as one of the 50 Best Online Literary Markets,[3] and has been cited by numerous print sources including the Wall Street Journal,[4] the Vancouver Sun,[5] and the StarPhoenix.[6]

History

Every Day Fiction is notable for being one of the first online fiction magazines to abandon the print model that had been migrated onto the web by its contemporaries, and instead focus on a format in use by several major blogs—dynamic content published in high volume. A key component of the site has been its focus on social media, with readers being able to vote and comment on stories

The model proved to be popular, and in 2008 Lapp boasted that the site had "nearly 1,500 RSS and e-mail subscribers, averaging over 10,000 unique readers a month".[7]
