Welcome to Issue 3.4!

We have one small announcement this week. We are now again open to poetry submissions! So, if you’ve been waiting to send us your poetry, wait no longer! We look forward to reading your beautiful words.

Don’t forget our Short Story and Nonfiction contests! There are only four days left to submit. As a new journal, we don’t yet have the readership to garner loads of submissions, so, believe me when I say, you have a really good chance of winning the $50 cash prize and publication in our annual print anthology! As an added bonus, 12.5% of your entry fee will be donated to Care.org to empower women and girls around the world!

In this week’s issue, we are proud to present an essay by repeat contributor, Anusha Srinivasan, a short story by Kelly Delany, and poetry by Aparna Sanyal. We know you’re going to enjoy this work by these three talented women. We hope you will connect with them via their online platforms and let them know that you enjoyed their work!

Thank you to all of our supporters who share our work on social media! The few seconds it takes you to share means a great deal to us and our worldwide reach! We are closing in on readership in 80 countries, and it’s all thanks to our lovely readers and contributors who help us publicize our journal. We’re very grateful!

Sincerely,

Rachel Holbrook

Editor in Chief
