MY FIRST instinct is to wish everyone in the CommuterLit community happy new year—but then I think, who am I kidding? Lots of things suck right now, and many of you are probably not feeling that optimistic about the coming year. But, I do sincerely hope that everyone can grab hold of a little joy, fulfillment, contentment and laughter in 2022. To aid you in this regard, and just in case you were in search of literary distractions, stick with us. A full slate of new stories and poems will come your way each and every week.
To aid you in your writing career goals, please look into our editorial critique services or our writing circle program.
If you’re looking to promote a new book, our advertising rates for the website and newsletter are priced to be affordable to self-publishers.
