Our next issue is percolating, bubbling, burbling, pushing its way to the surface. You’ll see it later this month. Are you ready? Get ready. It can’t wait to meet you.

In the meantime look! Right here! Issue 3 is here and busting with incredible writing. This was a thrill to publish, full of soft corners and sharp edges, hairpin turns and gentle landings. With some of your favourite writers (right?) and at least one debut author.

He has seen the future and it is delightful.

I can’t predict the future but I do know February is oh so close and I’m fairly certain two of my micros will appear in this issue! Can’t wait to see all the delights in store ✨❄️✨

I wonder who could be in this edition?👀

Up your expectations, everyone! Up! Up!

Not trying to up your expectations or anything, but a little bird told me a micro by yours truly is going to be in here. Insert eyes emoji, in the absence of an emoji that signals "I'm a big child and can't keep my mouth shut about exciting news".

Right? It does make you feel grateful to have read it.

So grateful to have read this @owlnsquirrels1111.bsky.social -- a beautiful ode to impermanence, and the joy that comes from it, and so tenderly crafted with fresh phrasing like "smiles lie nestled / in time’s stillness."

Bravo!

We’re hard at work building issue 4 of Temple in a City, filled with brilliant writers and writing. Look for it to emerge in February.
