Dear readers, writers and friends,

Many months have passed since the seismic shifts in our small, independent publisher. We spent that time discussing our image and direction we would like to take as well as sorting many bureaucratic issues that are invisible to the naked eye but have to be done.

Are we ready? I am not sure. Can anyone be ready for an ever-changing world of literature, unpredictable economic circumstances, world pandemics, wars, illnesses and personal issues that can affect what you are able to do and what you want to do? It is a little bit like having children: you are never truly ready to have them. So, the best thing to do is to jump into the deep end, take a breath and swim.

That is what we are about to do. We are gradually responding to the old submissions and we are ready to receive new ones.  In other words, as of today we are open to submissions yet again. We cannot wait to be read and be inspired by the amazing talent we have the privilege to see and support.

What can you expect? Our magazine, and that’s where it all started, is going to be published every Friday. Our first season starts now and finishes at the end of May. In the autumn, we will be back at the beginning of September. As to the book production, we want to focus on fostering literary connections across borders – geographical, cultural and societal.

We would like to thank everybody for your unwavering support.

Keep writing, keep creating and be yourselves.

Love,

Natalie & Natalie
