My piece, “Ugly and Pretty,” was selected by NonBinary Review for their Issue # 35: “Old Friends.” As an Associate Editor of this publication, I was very flattered, and as a writer, I was thrilled! This is the second nonfiction piece I have had published, and it is the most speculative of my published works.
During the process of preparing the issue for publication, I was also lucky enough to have the cover design I created selected unanimously by my fellow co-editors. Our typical design process leads to a frankenstein-esque mod-podging of everyone’s designs, but mine was chosen in its entirety. It is difficult to express how exciting this was to me as both an artist and as an aspiring editor. As my Editor-in-Chief wrote to me in an email, my “parents are 100% sticking this issue up on the refrigerator!”
Publication Journey: I submitted this piece to NonBinary Review, Gulf Coast Journal, and Green House Literary. After its acceptance from NonBinary Review, I withdrew it from the other two publications.
I would highly recommend checking this issue out. It has some excellent stories, poems, and visual art pieces. It can be purchased at this link: Issue # 35
