When asked about being published in <em>The Florida Review, <\/em>Sheffield said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">I was thrilled to be a part of such an esteemed publication. As a chapbook finalist, part of my prize was getting to attend the [Sanibel] writers&#8217; conference. It was just a fabulous experience\u2014it was the first time I felt like a writer. While I&#8217;ll probably never be completely rid of self-doubt, publishing my story helped me see that I might actually have something to say.<\/p>\n<p>Since she had been published in <em>The Florida Review, <\/em>Sheffield noted a sense of legitimacy that was gained for her as a writer and outlined what she sees as the role of small literary magazines:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">They are the rich earth wherein stories, poems, and essays can take root. They give emerging authors a place to grow from. Small literary magazines also shape contemporary literature. We can see where trends are going through what pops up in these publications.<\/p>\n<p>As far as whether her life has changed as a writer now with the release of <em>Marvels, <\/em>Sheffield said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Again, I&#8217;ve had this fleeting sense of legitimacy. I actually do love this little book. It&#8217;s weird and complicated and in some ways it&#8217;s indistinguishable from me. I love that it will exist outside of me. My dad passed away last year, and this book feels like another scattering of his ashes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Marvels<\/em> can be pre-ordered from Sundress Publications <a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/market\/sundress-publications\/item\/marvels-of-natural-history-by-m-r-sheffield\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Florida Review is thrilled to share that MR Sheffield, one of our authors, has just published her first poetry collection: Marvels.
