Also, I feel like a fraud, in a way. I’m not neurodivergent. I just feel I am taking up space, when someone else could do it better and be a better voice. I am so grateful to everyone who submitted.

I think I might permanently shut down Flamingo Literary and start afresh with a better, more organised Wordpress and open it to all writers, from everywhere, of any age, all genders, neurodivergent, everyone. I am so grateful to everyone who submitted to flamingo lit.

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long. This weekend, Issue 2 will launch! I’ve been producing the Issue on my phone (and will try and get my laptop working) to get page numbers in the Issue! 🦩

2+ years since we had to unfortunately close down, we still receive submissions. It puts things into perspective. We're grateful, but saddened for not being able to fulfill such expectations.

We’ve just emailed all our lovely artists who are appearing in Issue 2! Some of you submitted bios and titles for your work, others didn’t. We are 💯 happy for you to submit your work without a bio and title (it’s your work, it’s up to you!) we just wanted to check. ☺️ 🦩

Some journals spend money and time on their logos. We don’t. We just used the Flamingo Emoji. It says everything we need it to say: Flamingo. 🦩
