34 ORCHARD still stands

On By kristipetersenschoonoverIn AnnouncementsLeave a comment

We all know what’s going on in the world right now. I just wanted to pop in and say that everything is on track for our April 25 release, so yes, you all still have that to look forward to! The spring issue is completely laid out and is being given its final proofread now. We will be announcing the Table of Contents shortly, as well as post the link for a recent interview — we were featured by writer Angelique Fawns on Horror Tree!

If you donated, you will be receiving your copy ahead of the general public. We are planning on sending that out this week. If you have donated and have not yet heard from us, you will hear from us soon. While we are still fine and on track over here, we openly admit that, with all the insanity, a few things have slipped through the cracks. We are working to get caught up. Do not think you were forgotten, or that we don’t appreciate you.

We hope you are all staying safe, and finding comfort where and when you can. Hang in there. Once we hit bottom, the only way to go is up.

Kristi Petersen Schoonover, Editor

 

 

Our inaugural issue is coming together!

Our submissions window is closed, but our Spring issue is shaping up nicely! We have 15 pieces so far, and our writers hale from as far away as Nigeria and the UK.

Stay tuned! We still have a lot of reading to do. When our TOC is firmed up—some time, probably, in the middle of February—we will release it here, so that you’ll know what you have to look forward to.

Have a great week!

Just today we made it “Facebook Official” that 34 Orchard is coming in 2020!

There is still so much to do–prepare contract templates, set up email accounts correctly, mail out printed announcements to our friends, choose possible art for forthcoming issues, make a few more business decisions–but we’re ready for all of it.

If you’re a writer, please visit our guidelines. Our first submission period will open January 1, 2020.

If you’re also a reader (or only a reader!), consider signing up via email at the bottom of this page so that you’ll get our announcements delivered right to your inbox (we promise, it won’t be many). Our first issue is currently slated for April 2020.
