Yo-ho!
Consequently, this is the final bi-weekly issue of Writers Resist.
Although we have other things in the works, we want to pause to thank the hundreds of writers, artists, donors, and volunteer editors, who have lived the last four years with us, raging and weeping and laughing—and hoping.
K-B, if she could, would also thank her dear-but-departed mother, Patricia Bacon Gressitt, whose estate remnants funded the journal’s development and infrastructure.
Now, looking forward, one of those things we have in the works is a couple of Writers Resist readings, hosted by the virtual Boca de Oro Literary Festival, 5 through 7 March 2021. The festival’s keynote speaker is presidential photographer Pete Souza, who has helped keep us sane, lo these painful years, and the closing speaker is poet and playwright Marc Bamuthi Joseph.
Drop by here occasionally for more details.
In the meantime, we know it’s been a long, long four years—many thanks to you all for surviving them with us.
Love,
K-B and Sara
Thanks to you, Mariana, for sharing your writing with us.

Many thanks for giving us an outlet during these tough years. Looking forward to what’s in store for you.
