Hello

There were errors in the last email. We were half tempted to blame auto correct but then, c'est la vie.

As writers, every error becomes obvious after you hit send. Sometimes, editors catch them but other times, they sneak out like rats.

This week, I remembered that volume 2 of Issue 5 (Blank Spaces) is coming. What do we want? Glad you asked.

To fill a void, to raise dust or sing praise, but mostly, we want to leave it up to you to interpret.

Also, I sent out our first ever Best of the Net Nominations. Six Poems! A smile is on my face even as I type this. For a Literary Magazine that began on a Facebook page, we have come a long way. Feel free to read and write reviews/critiques (yes, nominations may not be that important but they were a milestone for us.

Stay Stripy, Abasiama Udom.

P.S. It seems I did not follow the regular letter format Ijay says. Forgive me. Regular style from August 🤗
