About

We are an email newsletter dedicated to providing a platform for creative writers nationwide and abroad. Issues are published two to four times monthly. Each issue features a single writer, showcasing his/her poetry, short story, or essay–and bio (if one was provided with the submission).

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 60 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
