FRIDAY NOTES & NEWS: You Two Days to Get your Book on our Summer Reading List

WE ARE preparing our summer 2026 reading list on our Book Store page, where we promote books (both self- and trad-published) written by CommuterLit contributors past and present. Contributors can get their latest books listed for free on our Book Store page by emailing a front cover jpg; a 50-word promotional blurb and a link to buy to the editor at admin-at-commuterLit-dot-com by end of Saturday, June 13, 2026. Please no AI-generated books.

Next Week Is Flash Fiction Week

Our Flash Fiction Week 2026 contest is closed. We are currently in deliberating. Our top five will be announced on our Substack newsletter on Monday, June 15 and be posted on the home page throughout that week. If you don’t make the Top Five, we will automatically treat your entry as a General Submission. But please note, as we are taking our summer break starting Monday, June 29, you probably won’t hear from us about your entry until late August or September.
