I'm the author of "Damn Sure Right" (Press 53, 2011), and editor for Frederick Barthelme's BLIP MAGAZINE (formerly Mississippi Review). I direct and edit the Fictionaut Five author interview series at Fictionaut, Additionally, I also create story animations and photographic montages which have run at The Rumpus and The Nervous Breakdown. I create book trailers from stories and animations by request.

"Damn Sure Right" blurbs and reviews: "Wonderful, dark, unforgiving. Pokrass writes like a brain looking for a body" (Frederick Barthelme). This debut by Meg Pokrass, "conveys entire worlds that are touching, haunting, funny, moving, and strange in the most beautiful ways" (Jessica Anya Blau). "The brew master of flash" (Sean Lovelace), making her the "new monarch of the delightful and enigmatic tiny kingdom of micro- and flash fiction" (Brad Watson). This collection of eighty-four tales is sure to "ruin your waking hours the way you'll want them ruined" (Kyle Minor).

My flash fiction and prose poems have appeared in Wigleaf, Gigantic,Joyland, PANK, Big Muddy, Gargoyle, The Pedestal, Keyhole, Annalemma, Mississippi Review, FRIGG, Smokelong Quarterly, elimae, Bananafish, Ramshackle Review, Monkeybicycle, Everyday Genius, Necessary Fiction, 3AM, Foundling Review, Mud Luscious, Juked, Wordriot and numerous anthologies.

I've been nominated twice for inclusion in the Pushcart Prize Anthology, Dzanc's Best of the Web, and my work has been featured by Storyglossia for Short Story Month. My story, "Leaving Hope Ranch" was selected for Wigleaf's Top 50 best flash fiction on the web.

I teach flash ficton privately by request.
