The Weekly LitMag (Issue #18)

Curated by us; produced by you

HELLO, HELLO!

Welcome to another issue of The Weekly LitMag. We are almost approaching 20 issues, and that is a pretty amazing feat (we think).

After all, this endeavour is being run by only 2 people, me and A Banana’s Archive.

So, we do apologise if we miss out on some things in the issues, or even interacting with all of you.

If this is the first time coming across us, we are The Weekly LitMag, a space created to listen, curate, and publish works that have been drowning in Substack’s algorithm. Ever come across a situation where you might think, “This is not good enough to be published”? Well, we are here to banish that exact thought. Send that to us, let’s see what happens!

---

Some housekeeping stuff:

1. To follow, subscribe to, or read other contributors, please go to “Contributors’ Notes” (CN) and “Shortlisted” and CLICK ON THEIR NAMES, not their handles

2. For some pieces, there are only excerpts from the original piece - please click on the author names (in the CN) to read the full story

3. We’ve only included the crux of your works, so if you have any particular intros, we’ve removed them just for readability reasons - so sorry!

4. If we’ve missed out on anything, please let us know! <3

Ready for the issue? Well then, here you go:

Please give a round of applause for our Issue #18 contributors:

Aidan Corrigan , Andrea (Andy) Curran 🌄 , Areyah DCosta , Jacob Hart , Khushboo 🌸 , nya<3

We have fookin’ amazing works this time round, so please do give these a read. We can guarantee that some may be wow-inducing!

A Banana’s Archive is currently out of commission due to finals, so she’s not exactly going to be involved, but! We will see her again soon.

Here at The Weekly LitMag, we do not believe in rejecting our contributors. Hence, we usually prepare a shortlist to thank them for being brave and submitting their work to us. Please welcome Issue 18’s shortlisters:

Abhilasha ❤️🪻🌹❤️ , Lin , S.U.Haq📜 , Sam

With that said, submissions for Issue #19 are opening soon, so please do keep an eye out for that! Oh, and don’t forget to follow us on social media, too, at The Weekly LitMag.

See you soon!
