LETTER FROM THE EDITOR / January 2024 / Kolleen Carney-Hoepfner

Hello friends, 

Wow. I am so glad to have 2023 behind us, even though 2024 hasn’t really been off to the best start. I was sick pretty much all month, having to undergo several rounds of antibiotics and steroids in an attempt to feel normal again. I’m getting there, but it’s not exactly what I had in mind when I thought “new year, new me”. 

Anyway. Here’s our small, intimate January issue, which we felt was a great way to ease into 2024. We’re currently open for almost all categories, and more importantly we’re open for our annual April Pop Culture issue, through 3/15. 24 hour subs will be open Monday through Thursday from now until we close. Please send us your pop culture stuff! 

In Cherry Dress news, we’re still open for poetry chapbook manuscripts until we hit 200, or until I decide to close them in February at some point (whichever comes first). And we’re so happy to say that Cathleen Conway’s NOCTURNES is now available to purchase! Up next is Andrew Ketcham’s CAPTIVA, which will be available on Valentine’s Day, so please watch our social media for that. 

We’re so glad to be back and we’re so glad to have you here with us. 

Let’s rock, 

Kolleen CH
