Earlier this month, Badgerdog Literary Publishing announced that the journal American Short Fiction is going on temporary hiatus (link opens to a PDF).

From the press release:

“As we navigate the changes in market conditions for print publications, we seek the best way forward for this unique and vital publication. In fact, we are considering other organizational changes designed to ensure that Badgerdog’s mission remains clear and focused,” said Board Chair Angela Luck. “We are proud of what Badgerdog has accomplished in the last eight years,” she said, “but every organization must take
stock at critical junctures, and Badgerdog must ensure that our organizational structure is aligned with the market and our mission. [...] Our goal is to continue to build on our success, and we are confident that more good will come from these changes as we move forward.”

American Short Fiction is a dynamic, engaging journal, a treasure on the Austin scene. Here is wishing Badgerdog well, and hoping they resume ASF publication soon.
