The theme for our Winter issue is Advent - what are you waiting for (spiritually &/or literally), what are you turning toward, how might God be coming to you? Send us paintings, essays, short stories, 95 theses, etc. 🙏
It’s kind of an unfathomable time to submit writing. My gut feeling is that:
👉 it’s a good time to solicit writers.
👉 it’s a good time for journals to be transparent about what they’re looking for in their next issue(s).
