Quote from Dustin M. Hoffman, Third Coast Fiction Judge, on a light blue and white background. The quotes reads: I love work stories and the specialized language and secret details that only someone who dwells behind the “Employees Only” can know. I also love surreal and magical works. Maybe the secret to my readerly heart is humor. It’s the gateway emotion. If you can make me laugh first, I’m willing to go just about anywhere with you.
Check out our Q&A with fiction judge Dustin M. Hoffman! Third Coast's poetry and fiction contests are open until February 15th. Only $10 to submit for a chance at our $1000 prize. All entrants considered for publication. #fictioncontest
