One thing I love about this writing community is how so many people cheer for each other's success! When my friends receive recognition for their work, I want to throw them a party & give them puppies!
Might not be enough party hats & puppies to go around, though. Congrats all around, Friends!

Black and white drawing of an open book. Letters float out of it, while the silhouette of a monster peeks out.
"Pouring out the text" is one of my favorite book terms.
It's the process of formatting a book for publication. Picking the font, setting margins, crafting title pages etc.
The term makes me imagine a tumbler full Times New Roman words being poured onto an open book. I love the writing world!

The cover of Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. A witch with tentacles. A girl clutching a lantern while tentacles that look almost like flames rise up around her.
Another great summer read from our editors!
