By Flapper Press:
Flapper Press is happy to announce our nominations for the 2024 Best of the Net annual competition. This week, we share our choices in non-fiction articles published on our website from writers all over the globe. As always, this decision is a difficult one, and we thank all our writers for submitting their work this past year.
A creation of Sundress Publications, The Best of the Net Anthology began in 2006 with the goal of honoring the world of digital publishing.
"We believe this effort is integral in decentering the literary canon as well as promoting and amplifying voices that are imperative to good literature, responsible culture, and the understanding of today’s social climate. We cherish these writers and publishers and hold digital publishing in high regards as a medium that creates access to a greater array of voices than the traditional publishing climate has allowed." — bestofthenetanthology.com
