The Weekly LitMag (Issue #8)
Curated by me; produced by all of you!
Hello everybody!
Quick check-in: how is everyone doing? We are about 4 months into 2026, and, wow… it’s just been absolute busy-ness for us!
Today, we are publishing The Weekly LitMag Issue #8! Lowkey a bit sad that we didn’t have a lot of submissions this time round, but it’s alright. I guess, even we as writers, have our peak seasons.
For those who are new, welcome to The Weekly LitMag! Our community works to highlight writings from Substackers, no matter who you are or what you write. Whether you only have 1 subscriber or 1,000 - it doesn’t matter!
Some housekeeping stuff:
To follow, subscribe to, or read other contributors, please go to “Contributors’ Notes” (CN) and “Shortlisted” and CLICK ON THEIR NAMES, not their handles
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
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!
If we’ve missed out on anything, please let us know! <3
Without further ado, please:
Funnily enough, or just the biggest coincidence, we have 8 contributors for Issue #8:
anagha , Hyacinth Macaw , iqra , Jennifer Howard , Kayleigh Thorpe , Raya , The Faraday Room , سَلْمَى
Quality matters over quantity, and we are still very much amazed by the pieces within this issue! Thank you very much to all of you who have contributed this time round!
Unfortunately, A Banana’s Archive is out of commission again… she’s sick, again…
Please send her your wishes, and if you enjoyed Issue #8, please restack, repost, and share this so that we continue to publish more works of quality at The Weekly LitMag.
To support every contributor, there is a “Shortlisted” section, please also give these authors your love and time!
