In the upcoming weeks, we will feature Q&As with the contributors to this year’s Best Debut Short Stories anthology published by Catapult. These stories were selected for the 2022 PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers by judges Sabrina Orah Mark, Emily Nemens, and Deesha Philyaw. Emma Shannon (any pronouns) is a fiction author and playwright based in Baltimore, Maryland. It is receiving a reprint in Catapult’s Best Debut Short Stories 2022. When not writing, you can find Emma podcasting on the Moonshot Network, swing dancing, volunteering at the aquarium, or looking for frogs in the woods.
