Letter From the Editor
I felt like it wouldn’t be appropriate to solicit submissions without giving y’all something to go off of. So, below is Issue 0, the proof of concept issue, the issue that gives you some idea of the type of stuff I like. If it’s the sort of thing you like (or even better, the kind of stuff you write), please subscribe and submit.
I’m truly doing this because I love lit mags. One day I hope to have a team, and a Submittable, and maybe even the ability to pay writers. All great things to come, I hope.
With love and gratitude,
Kameron Ray Morton
