Issue 11
Welcome to issue 11! Included in this issue, we have short stories by Juliette Dunn, Reno Evangelista, Lore Graham, Alex Luceli Jimenez, Alice Rose, Rue Sparks, and Samantha Weiss, with poetry by Phoebe Woofter and Ken Anderson.
This was our first issue with our new readers, Sydney and M.P. and I am so thankful for their hard work and dedication to the mag. Before they came on, I was sure that we would be forced to being releasing our issues every two months but with them, we can keep on with our current monthly cycle. With that said, I’d like to take this time to introduce these new staff members!
From your Editor-in-Chief,
Chandra Montez
Sydney Richardson
General reader
Created from the dirt outside of an abandoned Blockbuster somewhere in New Jersey, Sydney mostly spends her time reading stories about haunted houses and being furious at the overall state of things in the world at the moment If you're ever in Cartagena, Colombia, where she's kicking her now, hit her up for some good local coffee recommendations.
M.P. Armstrong

space witch
Xuan Nguyen (they/them) is a writer, artist, and musician who focuses on the intersections between transgender identity, divinity + monstrosity, and stigmatized mental and physical health. They consider the creative process to be one of making mirrors. They can be reached at contact@feyxuan.com or through Twitter @feyxuan. When not writing, drawing, or producing music, they can be found hanging out with their princess of a Siamese cat, drinking cold Viet coffee, or wondering what it would take to make a work like Revolutionary Girl Utena.
