Anyway the editors, Dr Asraf Jamal and Dr Shanti Moorthy have battled it out and produced the final list for inclusion into Silverfish New Writing 7 out of 165 stories we sent them.

By the way, this will be the last in the Silverfish New Writing series. We have decided to stop here. There will be no Silverfish New Writing 8, nor anymore after that in the foreseeable future. To all those who have contributed in the past, thank you for making the series an unqualified success.
