New Theme! Live Reading! Happy New Year!
Dear HamLit Community,
Happy New Year! We can’t wait to dive into all the creative brilliance 2024 has to offer with you.
To that end, we are excited to announce the theme for our Vernal Issue, Due West. Submissions open on January 15, 2024, which is right around the corner. Due West might reference a fixed point that your story bends toward, it could focus on the West Coast, or it might reflect the sunsets in your creative worlds. Submissions for Issue 07, Due West, will close on February 15, 2024. You can visit the HamLit website for guideline information.

Hammies in the Wild
Elizabeth Scott Tervo’s new book Eve in the Time Machine is available now!
Eve in the Time Machine explores themes of walls and divisions—cultural, political, death/life, and personal—mediated by memory, which the poet attempts to address by drawing on ancient Orthodox Christian wisdom. A foundational filter is the poet’s unhappy encounter with Soviet power in the Glasnost years.
If you’re one of our authors with something to share, please let us know! We love to promote your successes!
Save the Dates!
Issue 07, Due West Submissions are open January 15 through February 15, 2024

In Writing,
David, Joe, and Rochelle
