Volume Three: Fall '26

Autumnal winds hath arrived—hopefully soon, that is. Fall is my favorite season, which I fully believe a good percentage of the population agrees with. I'm admittedly a sucker for pumpkin spice anything, but I mostly look forward to getting to wear the other half of my wardrobe. It might not be chilly enough to wear sweaters or drink earl grey-steeped hot chocolate yet (try it!), but at least the Fall Volume is here. After a lot of trial and error regarding the figuring out of Wix dynamic pages, we bring forth to you an issue of fifteen wonderful poems and four flash stories all about love in its extensive forms, as per usual. Submissions for our fourth volume, the Winter Volume, will open tomorrow, September 23rd, and close on December 14th. The holiday season is nigh; whether it brings about feelings of lovey-dovey joy or a yearning that writing can help you manage, we want to read it and share it with the world.

With love in surplus,

Meg Nadine Wenzel, Editor-in-Chief
