Sorry this took so long, everybody! We are finally back again! <3

Welcome to the nineteenth issue of The Weekly LitMag. We are one away from two tens of amazing work.

Lots of shit had been going on in the past month that made us unable to put this out as soon as we could. However, with most shit cleared (?), we can now re-dedicate our time to this wonderful community.

Should this be your first time coming across us, we are The Weekly LitMag, or TWLM, a space created to listen, curate, and publish works that have been drowning in Substack’s algorithm. We banish every single thought of creative negativity!

Whatever that means.

Some housekeeping stuff:

1. To follow, subscribe to, or read other contributors, please go to “Contributors’ Notes” (CN) and “Shortlisted” and CLICK ON THEIR NAMES, not their handles

2. For some pieces, there are only excerpts from the original piece - please click on the author names (in the CN) to read the full story

3. We’ve only included the crux of your works, so if you have any particular intros, we’ve removed them just for readability reasons - so sorry!

4. If we’ve missed out on anything, please let us know! <3

HI. HELLO. WHAT’S UP.

We see that you are with us for another issue of The Weekly LitMag.

We’re glad you’re here because last week’s theme was lovely. Hah! Pun very intended.

For our fellow new contributors, welcome! Our platform, The Weekly LitMag is the place to submit your works which are still stuck in your drafts - yes, even those that you were afraid of showing to the world. :)

If you’ve noticed, there’s been a small change to the tagline.

(I doubt everyone’s noticed it anyways.)

Welcome to another issue of The Weekly LitMag, this time around being Issue 14.

With Issues 13 to 16 being themed issues, 14 has settled on the theme of serenade.

What is a “serenade”? Defined by Merriam-Webster as":

Issue 14 seeks to hear the music you play in your lives - whether sad, happy, anguished, or in love! With that said, The Weekly LitMag is the magazine to submit your works to if you feel like you have something to say because we love those writings!

Damn y’all, it’s Monday…

Apologies for our delayed Issue #13 - we’ve been swamped with a couple of stuff over the weekend and we legit couldn’t make it in time. So sorry about that! We won’t do it again - hopefully…!

Anyways, biggest welcome to The Weekly LitMag. This is THE magazine to submit to if you are just an author starting out, or just someone to listen to! We read all, and we read you - so share with us anything and everything!

Issue #13 marks our first themed issue: shadow. Defined by Britannica as “an area of darkness created when a source of light is blocked”, this issue seeks works which flit between the light and dark, the yin and yang, the said and done.

Hello hello!

How is everybody doing? We are approaching the middle of May, and we’re exhausted.

Work and university have been pretty tough, but I mean, we still got to shoulder on!

Anyways, please give our new contributors a warm welcome to The Weekly LitMag. This is a platform where we publish voices across Substack. Although, we think that lately there have been a lot of ‘litmags’ sprouting here. We just hope that TWLM continues to be the choice of your works!

Here at TWLM, we only care that your voice shines in your works.

The Weekly LitMag is so damn proud to announce that we’ve reached 10 ISSUES!

Can you believe that?

We started off this magazine with just the pure thought of showcasing works that we think should be in the spotlight. Therefore, we opened submissions for all of you to show us the words you’ve written. Since then, we’ve had 10 amazing issues - with a myriad of poets and authors.

Of course, there were some of you who have been with us since Issue #1, and we just needed to give yall a shout-out. Without further ado, let me introduce our special guests for The Weekly LitMag (Issue #10):

hello everybody! today’s post is somewhat of a detour away from my usual postings of TWLM or even my editorial advice (i really should get started on that again).

if all of you remember, few days back, i posted a note asking everyone whether they’d be interested if i opened up my editorial services. i’m glad that a lot of you were open to the idea.

of course, there were a couple of queries:

• who was i to open this kind of service?

• pricings

• was there anything else i’d do?

thank you for those questions, really! i’m here to answer them :)

to formally & professionally introduce myself, nice to meet everyone, i’m ivan! i am currently an editor for a university press, as well as editorial associate for an online literary journal.

my linkedin (lol!)

at the same time, i am also a published poet, reviewer, and someone who at least got one journal article out.

my publishing portfolio

i hope these provide some form of reassurances to you, because i can definitely understand how there’s always a big risk in sharing your personal works with strangers!

with that said, i’d like to show what my rates look like after having a long time deliberating about it - applicable to poetry, fiction, and non-fiction:

what do you think? are these rates too high or the jump between tiers too large? i’d like to know what everyone thinks! :)

don’t be afraid to ask me in detail, it allows me to really dive into what my community wants!

Good evening, everybody! Happy International Women’s Day as well to all the lovely ladies here on Substack!

We are back with The Weekly LitMag (Issue #5), and we have a PSA for you as well.

However, for those who have recently joined us, welcome to The Weekly LitMag! This community works to highlight writings from Substackers, which can sometimes get lost among other works here.

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Due to the influx of entries from this submission period, we’ve also taken the opportunity to review these submissions for Issue #6. So, if your work has not appeared in #5, and you’ve submitted, it means your work is being reviewed for #6.

At the same time, as we (the editors) are travelling from 14th March to 25th March, submissions for TWLM #7 will be put on hold.

This means that the submission periods for Issue #6 and #7 will be temporarily CLOSED till we get home from holidays! :)

Apologies for the inconvenience, but we hope you understand!

is momentarily back in action for issue #4. You can see what she has to say in the editorial note!

We hope everyone enjoys Issue #4, and if you did, please restack, repost, and share this so that we can continue to have more issues and contributors to The Weekly LitMag.

With that said, not everyone’s work made it, so we’ve created a “Shortlisted” section to make sure that they are still heard and seen. Please give these authors your support!

Quick check-in: how is everyone? We’re approaching the end of February, and it’s also TWLM’s launch for Issue #3!

For dear newcomers, welcome to: The Weekly LitMag. This is a place where works from the community will get the chance to be highlighted and showcased to everybody. Keep in mind, this is NOT a competition!

Some housekeeping stuff:

1. To follow, subscribe to, or read other contributors, please go to “Contributors’ Notes” (CN) and “Shortlisted” and CLICK ON THEIR NAMES, not their handles

2. For some pieces, there are only excerpts from the original piece - please click on the author names (in the CN) to read the full story

3. We’ve only included the crux of your works, so if you have any particular intros, we’ve removed them just for readability reasons - so sorry!

4. If we’ve missed out on anything, please let us know! <3

Without further ado, please:

With that said, we would like to introduce the contributors for our third issue:

We hope everyone enjoys Issue #3, and if you did, please restack, repost, and share this so that we can continue to have more issues and contributors to The Weekly LitMag.

Another week, another issue! This time being heavier, lengthier, and (maybe) better!

For first-timers, welcome to: The Weekly LitMag. This is going to be where works from you, my community, will get the chance to be highlighted and showcased to everybody.

Some housekeeping stuff:

1. To follow, subscribe to, or read other contributors, please go to “Contributors’ Notes” (CN) and “Shortlisted” and CLICK ON THEIR NAMES, not their handles

With that said, in our second issue, I would like to introduce its contributors:

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your work with me. I appreciate the emotions and thought portrayed and conveyed through your words.

Also, wrote Issue #2’s editorial note - it is quite amusing! Please also give her your support as she’s been helping me with the issues as well!

I hope everyone enjoys Issue #2, and if you did, please restack, repost, and share this so that we can continue to have more issues and contributors to The Weekly LitMag.

Of course, not everyone’s work made the cut so I’ve created a “Shortlisted” section to ensure works not spotlighted will still be visible to all of us here. Keep in mind there are 87 works, but please do give them your support:

What an extremely long list… !

But anyways, submissions for Issue #3 are open! So, I’ll see you in the third issue, bye-bye! <3

Merry Sunday, it’s the end of the week, and I hope that all of you are doing well. Some of us may be barely holding onto life; some of us may be enjoying a quiet weekend.

If you may remember, last Sunday I called for your submissions—saying that I wanted to create this weekly newsletter of sorts. Haha!

I did.

First of all, I’d like to introduce you to: The Weekly LitMag. This is going to be where works from you, my community, will get the chance to be highlighted and showcased to everybody.

With that said, in this inaugural issue, I would like to give a huge shout-out to all my contributors:

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your work with me. I appreciate the bravery, the honesty, the truthfulness, and the creativity behind your words. Clearly, they have all resonated deeply within me, so strong it has compelled me to create this for you!

Also, shout-out to , who helped me proofread this issue!
