Some treats in here! Tomorrow‘s reading sorted. ❤️
In the meantime look! Right here! Issue 3 is here and busting with incredible writing. This was a thrill to publish, full of soft corners and sharp edges, hairpin turns and gentle landings. With some of your favourite writers (right?) and at least one debut author.

Up your expectations, everyone! Up! Up!
Not trying to up your expectations or anything, but a little bird told me a micro by yours truly is going to be in here. Insert eyes emoji, in the absence of an emoji that signals "I'm a big child and can't keep my mouth shut about exciting news".

So grateful to have read this @owlnsquirrels1111.bsky.social -- a beautiful ode to impermanence, and the joy that comes from it, and so tenderly crafted with fresh phrasing like "smiles lie nestled / in time’s stillness."
Bravo!
