HELLO & WELCOME!

So many stories we’ve read since we started.
A person might think they’d begin to seem all the same, but they don’t.
Without fail, the stories we read each month move, surprise, and change us.
We are grateful to the writers for this gift, and to you, dear readers, for completing
the circle, for opening yourself to their generous offerings.

We two sisters read every story ourselves, and we pay writers
over $50,000 a year (almost 3/4 of that to emerging writers).
