"Mixed Fruit" is a new online literary journal. One interesting thing about their submission policy is that they read blind. In other words, they read submissions without knowing who wrote them. I think that this is a great idea. By doing this, it really does allow the work to speak for itself.
In Andrew Valencia's short story, "The Look-Alikes," Richard, a disgraced literature professor tries to redeem himself and win money in a Hemingway look-alike contest held at Hemingway's home in Key West. Along for the ride are Becca, who knew and fell in love with him in better days, and two former students, Silas and Nate. This story raises interesting questions about the nature of loyalty and the meaning of failure and success.
Did you ever have a mentor like Richard?
