Four Questions We Ask Of Written Work
Is it enjoyable?
Not everything we publish has to have a profound meaning. Stories or poems can be worth publishing simply because they're fun to read.
Is it honest?
Will readers be able to connect to your main characters and events?
If everything and everyone is perfect in your work than readers may struggle to care about the story.
Is it hopeful?
Difficult themes can be explored and hard questions asked in your work but does it inspire any hope? We want to publish works which challenge readers to seek out hope in the real world.
Is it family friendly?
Our magazine is for everyone. We need it to be a publication we would feel comfortable leaving out with children around.

Is it family friendly?
Our magazine is for everyone. We need it to be a publication our subscribers can feel comfortable leaving out when children are about.
