Liquid Imagination Ezine

A project of Silver Pen Writers (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2022). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Liquid Imagination is more than an ezine. It is an artform merging imagery and words. Illustrations enhances every poem/story here, and simultaneously every poem/story enhances every piece of art and/or photography. The two merge to produce something entirely new. We will find the art or photography to enhance your work. When we are done, your work will simultaneously enhance the illustration.
