the little journal Romance Edition Featured Authors

Writing WA and Night Parrot Press are delighted to announce the line-up of extraordinary authors featured in the Romance edition of the little journal!

For our ROMANCE issue, we asked for stories that flirt with the traditional romance genre, pushing boundaries and offering fresh takes on relationships. We want to celebrate tender and passionate frissons between traditional and non-traditional partners. We looked for stories that lift our spirits, challenge expectations, and celebrate love in all its forms as a complex human emotion.

The editors – Laura Keenan, Linda Martin and Eliza Redgold – faced the challenging task of narrowing down 141 incredible submissions to just 30 standout stories for our second edition.
