Gooseberry Pie launched in December 2023 with our first issue published January 18, 2024. What started as an idea to publish one six-sentence story per week quickly evolved into a twice-monthly issue packed with micros. We would like to extend our thanks to our incredible readers and submitters. Your continuous support and enthusiasm drive everything we do. To celebrate our first year, we put out a call for holiday stories—any holiday—and are publishing nineteen incredible pieces that amazed us with their language and originality.

Happy Holidays to all!
