Hey !

How has April been for you? Okay. We are excited in the Strippy headquarters and we hear you screaming spill!

So so news first.

We are fighting with Amazon. Their robots seemed to feel we are publishing public content work and sent a notice to us to stopping the publication of Breathless through their channel. Letter written and fingers crossed. But this means we must check out other print on demand services right? What say you? What alternatives do you know and would recommend?

Good news?

We are set to publish two chapbooks this May. Fragments by Tia Shearer Bassett goes out May 2nd 2023. (She made our editor cry with her interview: Coming soon). We also agreed to publish Oletu Oghenenyore’s Because we are stateless and its set for May 28^th

We also had teen author Kaylee Duda on our Medium page. She was interviewed by Cailey Tin. Read the interview right here.

You may want to catch up on all the latest news, interviews and articles on Medium and while doing so tell us your best poem, fiction piece or even art from the Breathless issue. Share and tag us across our social media channels. #Thestripesmag #Breathless. We will be waiting.

Talk soon,

Stay Strippy >
