congratulations Sarah on your publication! we are honored to have been apart of your publishing journey and are so excited to celebrate this win with you!

3 months to go! Keep a lookout for news and updates regarding our release date!

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

See you all next year! #twenty25

Thanks to all those who submitted for our 2025 Issue! We are so pleased about the turnout this year, it’s making our decisions amazingly difficult! Keep an eye out for the upcoming issue— it’s gonna be good!

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY

Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.

Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.

A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.
