At Modron we are glad to be part of the #SaveWelshMagazines campaign urging Creative Wales to increase funding for magazines in Wales. The situation at the moment is unsustainable, and the mags are vital to a healthy cultural life.

As new editor of Postbox Magazine, I now declare the Spring submission window open (15th November - 31st Dec)! I'm looking forward to reading short stories that experiment with form and sing with essential brevity! Submission details at www.redsquirrelpress.com/submissions

@modronmagazine.bsky.social are sharing writing prompts all through November for NaNoWriMo, and asking for donations for medical aid in Gaza. Today, the prompt is one of my faves drawn from my Dorothy Wordsworth work. Please enjoy, share & donate if you can: modronmagazine.com/2023/11/03/d...

From editor Zoe Brigley at @modronmagazine.bsky.social: “This writing prompt from Mari Ellis Dunning on overcoming adversity is… about giving birth to a premature baby & has become so poignant now thinking of mothers in Gaza giving birth without proper care & premature babies without incubators.”
