So sad to see Ellipsis closing it doors. It's one of the best lit mags out there. I was lucky enough to feature on a couple of occasions and one of my very first publications was with Ellipsis so it's close to my heart. Always supportive and always a pleasure to work with. You'll be missed!

Huge congratulations Matt! Truly deserved. 👏
