Interfictions is the Interstitial Arts Foundation's anthology series showcasing short interstitial fiction.

Interfictions Zero

The IAF is now accepting submissions for Interfictions Zero: The Virtual Anthology of Interstitial Writing and Original Essays, a new anthology to be edited by Delia Sherman and Helen Pilinovsky and published online in late 2010. A Table of Contents will list seminal, previously published pieces of interstitial writing (hyperlinked where possible) alongside original essays reflecting on those focus pieces. The goal of Interfictions Zero is to begin to create a historical context for how interstitial writing affects the growth and development of various literary genres.
