Hotch Potch Issue Two

A Great Literary ‘Zine!

Hotch Potch Issue Two is LIVE!

I am thrilled to announce that Hotch Potch Issue Two is live and ready for your hungry reader eyes. Hallo, Friends and Neighbors! I’m honored to serve as contributing editor for an exciting online literary magazine. The name of the ‘Zine, as you’ve probably guessed, is Hotch Potch. Yessir, a stew, a melange, a mix of yummy literary bits and bobs.

The Hotch Potch Mission

What happens when you gather up a group of writers and artists, throw them in a cauldron of creativity, then give them a good stir? Stories! Art! Guest Artists! This is the Hotch Potch Mission:

We are a stew. A quilt. A jam band.

Chaos. Dexterity. Precipice.

Concocting. Hatching. Dazzling.

A bunch of bitchy buds. Wacky whizzes. Sprightly speculators.

We long to belong.

As a collective, we want to discover, delight, differentiate. We want to provoke and unify, collaborate to share stories and images, to experience what it means to create together, to redefine and expand our own creative processes. We make art to share with curious fellow travelers like you.

The Long Road Gets Longer…

Hotch Potch began fifteen months ago with a few tentative emails and the germ of an idea. A whole lot of work went into the concepts, the stories, and the artwork. Ladle all of the ingredients into the creative cauldron, simmer and bubble. Stir, stir, stir! Issue One was born. And then came Issue Two: Guest writers, a guest artist, more stories, more art, more layout (and more headaches). Bubble, bubble, bubble! A few wrong turns, a few bumps in the road, lots of laughs, a couple of scary bits, and here we are!

Hotch Potch Volume One Issue Two. I am very proud and blessed to be a part of this literary adventure. I do hope you will join us. Thanks for being readers. Readers ROCK THE WORLD!
