I’m so thrilled to announce that our October illustrator will be the very talented (and generous) Mia Avramut! She has graciously agreed to adopt this issue and has provided us with some lovely images. It’s going to be a stunning issue. Mia is a Romanian-American writer, artist, and physician, who worked in laboratories and autopsy rooms from Pittsburgh to San Francisco.

Her artwork has recently appeared or is upcoming in Prick of the Spindle, saltfront, The Knicknackery, The Bookends Review Best of 2014 Anthology (cover), Up the Staircase Quarterly, Buffalo Almanack, and Sliver of Stone. She lives in Essen, Germany.

Stay tuned!
