In the New Year I am having a go at running an online poetry and flash fiction magazine based on Substack. It will be called The Starbeck Orion, be 25 creative works long, and be published seven times a year. Please contribute via the Gmail address TheStarbeckOrion@gmail.com Send three unpublished poems or flash fictions (1,500 words, or less) in Word.doc. in Times New Roman, 11pt. Make sure you put your name in the title of the Word.doc so I can find it. As this is a new venture I need your PATIENCE, above all. Publication will be on the 25th of every other month. So first issue will be posted on 25th February 2024, next one 25th April, and so on. Each issue will be themed: First issue theme is “New Life” or, just send your best three works. Contributions, I prefer that term to submissions, are open now.
