Half Mystic Gives Back

Friends, we are so grateful for all the light & warmth you’ve brought to Half Mystic for the years we’ve been alive. It’s been such a joy to partake your kindness, & we’re delighted to share that, starting this month, Half Mystic begins giving back to the community that’s raised us as a journal, a press, & a family. If you donate $10 or more, & include proof of donation to any charitable organisation of your choice alongside your prose or poetry submission to Half Mystic Journal or Half Mystic Press, our response will include editorial critique on your work.

Our critiques come from a group of highly skilled writers & editors with years of experience in the literary industry. They are 250 to 400 words long & written by two members of the H/M team, so you will receive varied perspectives on your work. If your submission includes multiple pieces, we’ll provide our feedback on only one—just let us know in the body of your submission email which piece you’d most like our thoughts on. This offer applies both to prose & poetry submissions to our journal & press, & stands no matter whether your submission is rejected or accepted.

You may donate to any charity you wish as long as your donation is $10 or over, but here are some of our favourites, if you’d like suggestions… ACLU, Hungry for Music, To Write Love on Her Arms, Planned Parenthood, Little Kids Rock, Wildlife SOS, GOONJ, every organisation listed here & here.

We deeply believe in the power of kindness as a community, & we have hope that this initiative will give back in some small way to this brilliant, terrifying world we call home. Thank you as always for your support, & we’re so excited to share our feedback on your gorgeous work. xx
