A perfect chance to remind folk of @JessJohannesson's weird and wonderful short story 'The Readers', in our third issue, Under the Bed.

Passed the setting of the opening scene of my first ever published short story this evening. Still kinda love those lines like a first chord. Thanks, @FarOffPlaces!

Less than 72 hours left to get your entries in for the Open House Poetry Competition.
You probably stand a better chance of winning than Theresa May currently does in the UK parliament.
G'wan and good luck!

This is lovely, a limited edition handbound copy of the final issue of @FarOffPlaces. I'm so glad to have been published in this wonderful journal - in this issue, in great company, a poem: 'Plant Me' and an illustration 'Rucksack'. Digital copies from faroffplaces.org

Lovely @JeanBava has just called being published by us "forever one of my most meaningful literary experiences", and @georgi_gill, you win the bet, @slender_means may finally need some tissues.
(Also, check out @JeanBava's magazine, @outcastlit, it looks fab!)

Chuffed to once again own a pink scooter. Attendees of the @FarOffPlaces wake & the #Edinburgh launch of @KnightErrantPub's #QueerQuarrels @Lighthousebks know its fictional cousin. Soon, readers of my book #stroke @sandstonepress can meet its #nonfiction big sibling. #muse

It really has been a week of farewells and new beginnings. The staff of @ByLeavesWeLive championed us from the start and put us on the shelves aside our literary magazine idols. We're going to miss @GillHamnett and @miss_e_prince, who're moving on from the library this week!

Thanks to everyone who came along last night and made our wake such a wonderful event. Contrary to @georgi_gill's predictions, @slender_means didn't cry, and all of our readers were just fab. Thanks too to the marvelous @Lighthousebks for hosting us!

Had an amazing night in Edinburgh thanks to the @FarOffPlaces team! I read at the launch of the new issue at @Lighthousebks, to a lovely, engaging audience, and then hung out for hours with some really nice new people. So glad I made the journey here and thanks for having me ✨📚

TONIGHT we bid a fond farewell to one Scotland’s finest poetry pamphlets- @FarOffPlaces!
Its pages were the first outing of many a celebrated contemporary poet, now they end the run on a high note!
