We will open our reading period for Issue III in November and it will run through February.  There will be a special dossier for the third issue that involves a reaction to the imagined dreams presented in the George Kalamaras piece in the first issue.   If you have not seen or purchased the first issue, get it here, as there are very few left and we’d love you to own one, as well as for you to consider entering the contest.

Thanks for your patience and skill.

Cheers, Team Tammy

Issue Two and News

Hello Readers,

The reading period for Issue II is now over.  We received a remarkable amount of high quality writing during this period and very much appreciate those writers who did send and who allowed us to read such great work.  Issue II is full of great poetry and prose and is much different than the first issue.  We really hope you all enjoy and can spread the word.

Keep your eyes posted for news about Issue III, as we will be running a contest special, in which writers will be encouraged to respond to a piece from Issue I and have their work featured in Issue III’s dossier.  Thank you for reading and send people over for ordering information.

Cheers, Tammy
