Editors
ABD editors met during a creative endeavor* at an early age. They reconnected decades later to co-found the weekly flash fiction project 52|250: A Year of Flash. Now they’re back with A Baker’s Dozen: THIRTEEN EXTRAORDINARY THINGS, which evolved out of their desire to continue to read and write and edit inside a vibrant community of writers. These days, they discuss fiction, art, and sex across the International Dateline and imagine seeing each other again in person rather than via Skype.

John Wentworth Chapin lives in Baltimore where he runs a university writing center and teaches. Another Month in Paradise, his memoir of two years living in a mud hut in a mountain village in Sri Lanka dodging bus bombs and cobras, is seeking representation. A novel-in-progress, Alexandrite, creeps along, as do several flash-fiction, nonfiction, and humor projects. His fiction, nonfiction, humor, and assorted detritus have appeared in Lynx Eye, Bridge Magazine, D-Town, Pure Slush, and Constellation.
John squats on various domains in case he ever feels the urge to blog.
