Announcing the Submission Deadline for Issue IV: Grazioso

Dear songbirds, the gold-sing-warm submission period for our fourth issue, grazioso, has come to an end. We can’t tell you how honoured we’ve been to receive your gorgeously-crafted pieces in our inbox over the past six months. You are every definition of sunlight we know how to fathom, & we are so grateful for every ounce of softness that has touched us.

Most submission decisions should be in your inboxes now; we are still working on those pieces that were submitted in the last few weeks, & their decisions will be released very soon. Thank you for trusting us with your work.

Half Mystic Journal’s Issue IV: Grazioso is full of the rare kind of light that never drowned anything, the kind of light that knows only song. It features writing & music from Sydney McNeill, Yves Olade, Terry Abrahams, Diane Bluesolis, Devin Kelly, Emily Paige Wilson, Jill Mceldowney, Kate Bucca, Chloe N. Clark, Jade Riordan, Dessa Bayrock, Donna Vorreyer, Maria Sledmere, Emily Blue, Eli Winter, The Woodlands, & The River Has Many Voices, as well as art from an absolutely incredible soon-to-be-unveiled featured artist. We are absurdly excited to share it with you this December. Please do preorder your copy now to warm the winter nights ahead.

The theme reveal & submissions will open for Issue V after Issue IV is released on December 12th, 2017. If you are so inclined, you can join our mailing list to be notified when Issue IV drops & the next submission period opens.

Thank you so much, friends, for making Issue IV: Grazioso such an endless joy to bring to you. There is so much melody to embrace here, so much tender curling blossom to call your own. We have hope that this creation might help draw our aching world out of its endless, cacophonous dusk. xx
