In 2019 I was 39. I felt too old and too late but I was like let me try getting back into writing. I was promptly rejected all over again and reminded that I suck. So then I said fuck it, and completely made up the most prestigious literary magazine of all time. Become a writer

1/ Your Sarabande team is okay, but we’re so sad to share that we had a break-in at our offices over the weekend. We want to send our thanks to the *many* neighbors and friends who have reached out to lend a hand and ask how to help. We’re overwhelmed by your kindness.

a beloved NYU prof told me my poetry was great, but there is no market for what I do and I wouldn’t make it to a full-length. book 2 comes out this fall & I’m working on my third rn 😉

Just an fyi that we are DarkWinter Press and Literary Magazine, not DarkLit Press. For some reason, we’re getting posts about them and some controversy they’re involved in. Not us!!
