Description

Vol. 5 includes stories by John Matthew Fox, Jennifer Robinette, Rhianna Herd, Scott Archer Jones, Kyler Campbell and Jane Finch.

Here you are, on Longshot Island. Prepare to enter a magical place. Be ready to go in new directions. We're going to take you on a journey to somewhere you've never seen before, unlike anything else you've dreamed.

For me, it's been an exciting time working on the magazine. I've met many new authors and the magazine has grown rapidly. There have been great reviews and supporting blog posts. Onward, we've moved, come sun or high water. Are you ready for more?

In the next year, we want to expand the magazine into all things related to fiction writing, from science fiction to humor.

But at the core, we're going to keep you tuned into the same great fiction that we've always searched far and wide to find.

Welcome to New Directions. I think you're going to like it here.
