Hello Chill Subside…rs? That a thing?
Ok, maybe not. The indie lit world is like…way more intense than you’d think.
Also is there a thing with writers and pigeons? I mean, Pigeon Review, Pigeon Pages, Poeming Pigeon? Not complaining here, just, you know….kinda weird. And we’re here for it.
OK, so I didn’t share any of our sweet-sweet content last week so let’s bang it out:
