Synopsis
Like the first volume, this second best-of anthology offers a wide selection of the literary voices that make Philadelphia so unique. Authors include doctors, lawyers, students, teachers, journalists, playwrights, and a homicide detective all talented writers who spend their precious free time honing their craft. James W. Morris (Regalia) grew up in Philadelphia and worked as a monologue writer for Jay Leno. David Sanders (School of Fishes) has been widely published and was the founder of the InterAct Theatre Company's Writing Aloud reading series. Ona Russell (The (O)ther Kahn) is the grand-neice of Philadelphia architect Louis Kahn; she is now working on her third Sarah Kaufman mystery. This is just a sampling of the many diverse voices featured in the second Philadelphia Stories anthology. We asked our board and our readers to select their favorites from the magazine and website, and this work is included in the anthology, says Carla Spataro, co-publisher and fiction editor of Philadelphia Stories. We re really proud of the fact that we've published both first time authors and more established writers. The anthology pulls everything together in a really beautifully presented package. We re proud of that, too.

From the Inside Flap
"A classy little publication of fiction, art and poetry."-Melissa Dribben, Philadelphia Inquirer "Philadelphia Stories is untethered to any kind of counterculture. For readers who find most litmags too insidery, the friendly, folksy vibe is a breath of bakery air."-Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia City Paper "To add to the list of reasons why it's good to be an artist or art lover in Philly, there's Philadelphia Stories, a homegrown but ambitious literary magazine."-Katie Haegele, Philadelphia Weekly
