Zine5 is updated with at least four works every weekday. Mondays see the addition of three Irregulars' works and an editorial along with the four Regular updates. New reviews too are added on Mondays. On some other days there are five new works. With this high volume of work being published on Zine5, Editor's Choice is your guide to what we think is the cream of our crop.

Every week on Editor's Choice, we'll feature one piece each from the Regulars and the Irregulars published in the last month.
