Other Goings On…
It was a joy to meet some of our contributors at AWP 2025 in Los Angeles last month! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table to say hi, pick up an issue, or appreciate our lighthearted new merch.
Tote Bags Now Available Online!
We heard you, and we’ve made our enchanting new totes available for everyone in our online store! (And no, you don’t have to show proof of rejection to qualify for the Rejection Tote… though we do encourage you to submit if you haven’t yet!) Weren’t at AWP? Or thought, briefly, that you didn’t need another tote bag? Now’s your chance – pop over to our website to pick up a tongue-in-cheek badge of your support for small lit mags. Supplies are limited, so grab one before they’re gone!
Open Mic Recap
Finally, a big thank-you to everyone who joined us at Cartel Coffee last month for a fantastic open mic night! It was great to see so many of you share your incredible work and come together to cheer each other on. Keep an eye out for a future announcement about our next open mic.
Thanks as always for reading and for supporting HFR.
