About Us
It all begins with an idea, a spark of imagination, a desire for creative expression, and a dream to be published. Maybe you have writing that you want to share with the world. Or maybe you want to tap into your creative side and need guidance on how to get started on writing a poem or story.
Whatever it is, we want to help you level up your work and shine in the next issue of our digital publication. Our interactive magazine utilizes reader interaction in various forms for a more immersive experience. Be seen, be heard, and be celebrated as we are looking for diverse voices.
If we have piqued your interest, we invite you to read our submission guidelines, and we also encourage you to join us for our upcoming free online webinars and courses on producing poetry, creating short stories, and using writing as healing. Therefore, please subscribe to our newsletter and receive updates on our upcoming calendar of events.
