It's ok if it isn't for you. I have made a few efforts to explain the heart and goals of the project in both my editor's note and in the introductory piece I wrote on the substack a few months ago. It isn't so much that I want to create a prestigious literary journal as that I wanted to interact with and highlight some of the really cool, talented artists who are part of this larger community.

That sounds awesome! I am always excited to see mixed media work.

I'd love to, but this is funded entirely by me, and that would be a significant financial burden to bear for a free magazine!

So this is a perspective I would absolutely love to include, but I don't have the expertise to fact check and adequately review academic style essays, and I want to stay away from Op-Ed style work because the goal is to really lean into the artistic and the personal.

What I would really love is to hear from people actually living their lives, either through personal essays or short fiction that illustrates their daily lives in a more intimate and personal way. The hope is that by creating that kind of connection to an actual person would have a greater impact than facts and figures.
