who are we?
what are we looking for?
______________________________________________________________________________________
This is a special issue for us, and hopefully it will be to you as well. ‘Love Letter’ essentially focuses on your idea of love. While it need not be flowers at your door and kisses under the rain, (or it could) we want to know what love means to you. Is it the only thing that makes life worth living? Or is it a social construct? No matter your opinion, we won’t judge. We also want to place a focus on platonic love, familial love and self-love. So, go crazy. Write a love letter to your future self or your ex-best friend. Your inner child or your significant other. From unfinished love songs, to handwritten poetry, even shabby sketches from your notebook. We would love to give your work a home, and all you have to do is hit send.
