Cover of SAGE Magazine showing line-drawn continents and constellations in yellow and lilac against a black background, the word "SAGE" in bold and the words "Eclipsed Ecologies" arcing around one of the images.
An art spread included inside the magazine. On the left page is an eerie blurred cyanotype of what looks like flowers, with the title "Blueprint of Nature" by McKenna Blaine. On the right side is a surreal image of a person in bluish purple holding a distorted face with eyes all over it. The title is "Twisted" by Eleonor Andersson.
First-page spread of my piece "Summer, or Chronic Illness: The Eternal Return" with the words seeming to spout and fall like a waterfall.
The hand-stitched spine of SAGE Magazine bearing its black back cover with the yellow and lilac celestial designs.
Received my contributor's copy of SAGE Magazine - what a beautiful objet d'art, just look at that stitched spine! My piece "Summer" is an excerpt from a full-length manuscript which is #seekingapublisher, & it was awarded the magazine's Prose Prize! Read it here: sagemagazine.org/wp-content/u...
Black lettering on white background: THE CASE OF THE FLYING GIRL lazy is the drooping lid solitary is the drooping lid too short the lace curtain over one window once more i saw someone (un)desired once more into the flat blew a cautionary air once more i fell in love
A mind-bending meditation on death, decay and what we make of the precious little time we have, i’m a little fruit fly is a bold, genre-defying debut that reveals something different with every reading.

Commissioning editor? Want to push back against that element in the industry that thinks they can wave a £1.2 bn-pound magic wand to make the world as they think it should be?

Hush Now by Agnieszka Jelonek (Poland, Cyranka 2022)
An unflinching, unpretentious reflection on love, both romantic and platonic, and an exploration of how to find one’s own voice in life and build a reality that is not centred around the wants and needs of others.

Out here, I dream. In the city, my sleep was empty, dark-grey, big. In the early hours, when the stuff stopped working, it became light-grey and heavy. But now, I am here.
