Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

We are looking for prose, poems, letters or notes – addressed to Mx Lonelyhearts (after the famed literary agony aunt) Maybe you have a tale of woe, failure or mishap, of misplaced love, a misunderstanding or a mistake – tell Mx Lonelyhearts. Perhaps you have nothing to say or too much. Maybe you want to rant or cry or just write it out – here’s the place. Tell Mx Lonelyhearts. Maybe this is something you’ve never told anyone or can’t tell anyone. Maybe this is the first or last letter (we hope not!) that you write. We don’t want you to overthink it — just sit down, type and send it in. We are ready to read. We want words that speak to us directly, unnerve us, make us weep or laugh. Something straight from the heart. A page or two is enough. Maybe one sentence – if that’s all it takes. Write it now - we want to say yes. *This is conceived as an interactive anthology, so be advised, Mx Lonelyhearts may reply.
