Thank you for your Submissions to Flood Memory!
Issue 09 will come out July 1, 2025! But first, we'll see you at the Chuckanut Writers Conference!
Dear Hammies,
The waters have risen and receded—submissions for our Monsoon Season: Flood Memory issue are now officially closed. Thank you to everyone who entrusted us with your words! We're eager to wade through the deluge of creativity you've sent our way, each piece a memory captured, each story a current that will carry readers to unexpected shores.
Mark your calendars for July 1, 2025, when Issue 09 will flow into the world!
Upcoming Events: Chuckanut Writers Conference
The literary tides are bringing us to the Chuckanut Writers Conference from June 26-28, 2025! Just like last year, HamLit will have a table showcasing our journals and celebrating our community. We're especially proud that several of our published authors will be presenting workshops and readings throughout the weekend.
Whether you're just dipping your toes in the writing waters or you're swimming in the deep end, the CWC offers invaluable opportunities to refine your craft and marketing approach. Masterclasses with Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest and renowned author Priscilla Long have just opened for registration!
We're Here Because of You
Our literary journal continues to flow and flourish because of your support. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributes through our Substack or Ko-Fi—these generous drops fill our publishing pool and allow us to amplify Pacific Northwest voices.
Have you recently published work, scheduled a reading, or achieved a literary milestone? We'd love to hear about it! Share your good news with us so we can celebrate your accomplishments in our next newsletter.
Your Editors,
David, Rochelle, and Joe
