We’re delighted to present our April issue on the last day of the month. Up here in the Northern Hemisphere, cherry and apple blossom abound and the earth smells loamy and fresh. It’s lovely to see leaves unfurl and trees turning green. But enough waxing poetical about spring.
As all writers know, writing is not as easy as it looks. You can’t just slap down any old words and call it a story. It takes skill to tell a good story, and these writers have it in spades. But before we introduce them to you, we want to tell about our new (ad)venture: from Issue 8 on we’re taking poetry. This has been a long time coming, but we feel we’re on more solid ground now we’ve got seven issues under our belt, and ready to expand. We hope you’re as excited as we are.
We’re also goodbye to two of our stalwart editors, Andy Sharman and Nick McLoughlin, who were part of Thin Skin before it was even a magazine, and welcoming new faces, Patience, Phillipa and Helen.
