Announcement: New Reading Period for the Fall Issue

Hello to all the writers, poets, and artists, and to our Heart of Flesh family,

We have a new reading period this year for our Fall issue! Our submission window will open on July 20th (in two weeks!) and will close on September 20th. Our editor-in-chief will be going on a mission trip at the end of September into October, and she needs a little extra time to go over submissions. The issue is still scheduled to be released in November.

We’re so excited to read your work. If you feel led, please pray for our editor — for the submission process, for the mission trip, and for the wisdom, discernment, and blessing from God to cultivate an issue that will glorify Him above all else.

May God bless and guide you all on your creative journeys, and we hope to see your work in the coming weeks!
