Hello gorgeous people! Thank you so much to everyone who has sent us work for issue three. Thrilled to see so many new names as well as plenty of familiar ones in our inbox.

Hoping to get the first set of responses out pretty soon.

Wanna feed the birds words? Send by 11/26. :)

I think that's it for housekeeping! Thank you so much for bearing through this whole thread. Questions? Shoot em my way. If I've forgotten anything I'll surely be back.

Anyways! Love you guys! Super excited to be back.

Yes! We're planning on nominating for both Pushcart and Touchstone this year. There's a chance depending that staring next year we'll nominate for more than just those two.

I'll be updating our chillsubs and Duotrope pages soon so that you all have the latest. [Thread]

Themes? Each January issue will usually be more serious, while the May issue will be lighthearted.

If the birds love your work and it doesn't fit each issue, there's still a chance it MIGHT end up in the blog, fair warning ;)

And uh I think finally, noms?

[Thread]

Speaking of the website, what about your url? Wasn't it different at one point? Yes! Previously I was paying for wix premium and had to switch to the free version while I was in the middle of a major move. I've settled now, and so end of October we'll switch back.

[Thread]

What about the blog/archive function on your website? It'll still get used, and I'll still do my usual share posts, but it'll now be used to highlight individual pieces from each issue!

I love all of y'all and your work and want to still give it its flowers. [Thread]

For sake of not burning ourselves out, we are changing a bit. We'll be publishing two issues, twice a year. One will release each January, and the other each May.

We're still going to take a hiatus every summer, meaning no activity June-August. [Thread]

Theme?: 'I am learning to let the soft animal of my body love what it loves.'
Responses?: the goal is to get them all out by end December.

Going to be changing our pub structure!

What does that mean?
