Founder's Favourites A project of Halcyon Days (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About Inspiration came from reading hundreds of submissions for my two magazines Halcyon Days and Perspectives. The manuscripts evoke emotion, tug on my heartstrings, or contain unforgettable messages. At times I see great potential and talent but they don't fit the themes. It breaks my heart to reply with "not a fit" or "I wish I could accept this but" within the body of an email. Enter the reason for this magazine. It has no theme. I want to shine the light on literary talent--period. Content will contain anything I find memorable, creative, unique, visual, and even simple. Accepted contributors will most likely write about things that are emotionally moving. Not sure I will like your submission? Take a chance! You have nothing to lose. And who knows? You may end up being among the founder's favourites!
