Winter 2016 Issue Launched

Really need to check in with this blog more!  After spreading the news of the new issue's launch yesterday, I forgot to post it here.


Yes, this blog has become all but inactive, but for those who check it, just throwing out another reminder to scroll down a bit to see older reviews that we've posted here before moving the reviews back to the issues.  Even further back, there are some nonfiction pieces.  You might see something you like... Until the next issue, or news on the print anthology, which is now under way again, happy reading!

Winter/Spring '15 is Live!

If you're reading this, you're probably already aware that we have a new issue, and that you can find it here:

Melusine 7.1

If you're not, then you just learned something new!  That's what life is all about.

I do hope this blog will eventually be repurposed for something other than redundant announcements of new issues, like the proposed highlights series of the best from our past issues, but until that time, you might enjoy scrolling down through the previous pages of this blog and reading my reviews of recent books.  On that note, reviews are once again being featured in the journal itself, and if you write reviews, please send us some.  We don't have the time we wish we had to write them these days, but we love to publish them.

Happy (wintry, for some of us) spring. May a springier spring arrive soon!

Winter/Spring 2014 issue

Our Winter/Spring issue, Volume 6.1, our 11th issue in all, is finally live!

It includes what I think are some awesome poems and stories, as well as reviews of two great new poetry books.  I also really love the cover art by Samy Sfoggia.

Re: The New Issue, Good News and Bad News

The good news:  Our Fall/Winter issue will not be coming out in May this year.  This is an improvement over last year!

The bad news:  The new issue is not out yet, as you may have noticed.  However...

... it will most likely be launching this month, probably around mid-month.  (January, not May.)  Our editor, who knows she needs to recruit an editorial staff, like yesterday, is adjusting to the time demands of motherhood, although she has another human being in need of mothering due to arrive in March.  That is one reason she has every intention of making sure the new issue launches before then!  Contributors should be hearing from her soon with their proofs.  Thanks again for your patience.

The Raise for Women Challenge

Melusine readers, if you have the ability, please consider participating in The Raise for Women Challenge on crowdrise that is being sponsored by The Huffington Post, Skoll Foundation and the Half the Sky Movement.  (Half the Sky is a heartbreaking but beautiful film.)  There are a large number of fundraisers to choose from that are all very worthy and necessary.

Quick Update on New Issue With Revised ETA

Just checking in to say I finally got some serious work done on the much-belated formerly Fall/Winter, now Spring/Summer issue. I'll be contacting contributors with proofs in the next few days, and the issue will be launching this month. Again, thanks so much, readers and contributors, for your patience and support! I was inspired as I re-read the content of this issue and think it will be worth the wait.
