The Zig Zag Lit Mag issue 11 Launch Party was a success, thank you everyone who attended! We had to improvise with chairs for the outdoor seating, and readers stood well away from the audience so that they could unmask while reading (hence no one else is seen in the pictures). I just read a snippet of my short story so as not to take time away from other readers. A couple came up to me afterwards and said they looked forward to finishing the story themselves to see how it ends, which is great feedback!
I was also pleasantly surprised at the party by a fellow writer gifting me with a book: Handbook For Boys. Since I wasn’t raised in a traditional boyish manner, he thought this would help teach me knots, camping tricks, etc. I had wanted to join the boy scouts as a kid (didn’t since everyone thought I was a girl back then, even me), so this will be a fun read.
Where do I find this issue 11? Or at least your story, Phin? I’ve searched the magazine website, their Etsy store, Vermont Book Shop. No luck so far.
Alas, there’s a slight delay in getting it available online for purchase. I’ve brought it to the magazine’s attention that it’s not in their Etsy store yet, once it’s there I will create another post.
