We are launched!! Print & digital issues now available on our website or Amz. Free preview also on our website (takes a minute to load, don’t panic). Excited to share so much new work from Belfast & beyond!! 😎🍀
#WritingCommunity
This was launch day for us: Twitter blew up. Went to @thelinenhall for an event @WednesdayErskin in person. Twitter blew up some more. So many kind words to read as we waited out the rainy afternoon, supporting local authors in Belfast 🍀
Helpful reminders for writers:
-an offer of publication is not your only shot at publication
-you should feel happy about where & how your work is featured
-the editorial process should respect your voice & vision, not erase it
-there’s always another place to submit to
We had 300 submissions last round, but planned for only 100 since that’s what most newbie journals get.
Lessons learned. New plans made.
Coming 1st March, we’re ready for the next 300.
Bring it.
Yes, a few of you who submitted early got early acceptances today. Don’t worry - we’re still hard at work reading everyone else’s submissions. All in good time!
You’re all legends.
The Linenhall Library wants a copy of our first issue for their permanent collection. For the archive.
For history 🍀
