The reception for Top in Fiction has been tremendous and overwhelming and we are only just beginning. What makes this job so easy for me, and my assistant, is the fact that the stories are coming directly from you! But, my assistant has been asking himself (and me, since I’m the only person he’s allowed to speak to…), where are the poets? So, I put the call out to you! If you know of any poets who’ve written something during the times we ask for your work, TELL US! We’d love to include poetry here as well.
For the nosey readers among you, you may have noticed we snuck in a Start Here post recently. We chose not to send it to everyone because we aim to stick to our promise to only ever send you an email about our meet-ups and the new issues week-to-week. But if you wouldn’t mind checking out our Start Here post, we’d appreciate it. We aim to keep it up-to-date with our future plans and any relevant news. Whenever we make changes to that post we’ll let you know.
