Hi everyone!

As we approach the opening for submissions to our next issue on January 31st, we are doing everything we can to publicize! We created a Facebook page which you can find here, and we would love for you to ‘like’ us! 

Additionally, for those of you interested in ordering a print copy of our first issue, we put out a link via our Facebook page that should allow you to purchase one via PayPal or credit card. As we mentioned before, shipping can be quite expensive for those living in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

Thank you so much for your continued support, we are looking forward to reading your submissions for our spring issue!

Tell your friends, family, alt-lit collaborators, strangers on the street, non-literary friends who you are waiting to convert to the dark side…

We’re so excited to share these great works and authors with all of you!

SUBMISSION FEATURE: Self-Portrait as a Castrato with Flowers from an Adoring Fan

Hi everyone! We realized belatedly that we incorrectly formatted the line breaks in one of the poems featured in our June issue. Because the initial post has already been reblogged and viewed many times (thank you so much for your support!) we felt that it wouldn’t be the best idea to take all the links down and reupload, so we’re instead giving the piece its own separate post so that it might better reach all our readers on their dashboards. 

Please check out more of Leon’s work at their blog

Thank you all so much for your continued support. Please look forward to our July issue coming soon!
