Read Sharon Berg's wonderful interview of @stephaniecesca re: her book Dotted Lines (pub. @guernica_ed) in Issue 28!

So hey… if anyone is interested in having me as a writing mentor, @twuc just announced their micro grants for mentorships.
Let me know and I’ll give you the deets.
I know a couple of things about writing and publishing.
