The train leaves without a word. Tonight, each tender valley clenches into your chest. I have been on my knees so long… Bella Zhou’s “Hu Tianbao, God of Rabbits,” featured in ACM & our #APAHeritageMonth reading list: anotherchicagomagazine.net/2025/02/20/thr…

Issue 9's theme asks us who we reach out to when we’re at our lowest, alone and crying out for help, and what we do when no one answers that call. What words are you shouting into the void just to have thrown back at you?

UK friends, my thriller-romance debut comes out ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! It would mean the world to me if you preordered!!

The theme for Issue 9 is here: ECHOED HOWLS Submissions open July 1. A howl: a long, loud, doleful cry. Wolves howl to reach their pack, to call their kin home. But what happens when your call is only met with silence? When it echoes back, unanswered? buff.ly/SVflZZ2

As promised, here is an updated MSWL: amandalitagent.wordpress.com/agent-mswl/ I did my best to cover EVERYTHING, but please let me know if there needs to be some clarity anywhere. I want this to be accessible to EVERYONE. I have also updated my list on MSWL's site. 1/?
