The Summer 2018 Issue is Live
by Barbara Westwood Diehl
Our submission doors are just about to open! In less than an hour, actually. Before you submit, please take some time to read the poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction in our Summer 2018 issue. Kick off your shoes, pour yourself something to drink, and read the work of these writers. Read their comments. A number of our contributors have included audio, too, so you can listen along as you read, if you'd like.
Congratulations to our summer contest winners:
1st Place: Celisa Steele - "The Buttonhole Stitching Around the Heart Can't Stop the Unraveling"
2nd Place: Emily Anderson Ula - "Role Play"
3rd Place: Claire Robbins - "Dressing the Man or Queer Gender Fatigue"
Thanks to all the writers in this issue, and thanks to the BR staff and all you readers and writers out there. Thank you for your vision, your wisdom, your wit, and your wonderful way with words.
Ten minutes until August 1. Nine. Eight. Seven . . .
We look forward to reading your work.
