How are you spending your weekend, creatives?
A lot of us are spending the weekend reading & critiquing stories because we've got an 8-way story swap going as our Quills work on perfecting their stories for the LegendFiction 'There Be Dragons' contest!

Good news! Katy Carl of Dappled Things is joining us to discuss Fragile Objects at our monthly JDV book discussion in NOLA on May 25! RSVP to Danny Fitzpatrick at [email protected].

We are also pleased to feature her outstanding essay on Jon Fosse in our Spring 2024 Issue.

Our Wordsmiths are meeting tonight to critique each other's works - have you ever had a good critique partner?
Are you looking for a group that can help you find that?

We've got a space for you. inkwellsandanvils.com/general-8

We hope you will join us for an upcoming book release and presentation by JDV Editor Danny Fitzpatrick on May 8th at St. Francis Xavier (Metairie).

Danny will be presenting on his recent publication, Restoring the Lord’s Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature!

seriously, *all* the cool kids
