Hoping you’re well, MockingHeart friends!

This is a complex literary world we’re living and working in, with lots going on in our lives! I’m sure you know just what I’m talking about: the sometimes enjoyable but often frenetic flurry of activity that surrounds us daily. Our excellent Associate Editor, Denise Rogers, has been admirably balancing both her excellent work at MHR and her own flourishing creative and pedagogical career. I can’t reveal too much, but she also has a new book coming into the world soon! Stay tuned for more details at her discretion…

For the moment, Denise has decided to step back from MockingHeart Review to focus on her many successes and irons in the fire, and we wish her well during this hiatus! I know you’ll join me in sending Denise good vibes and warm thoughts as she continues her work. We’ll certainly all look forward to her return.

And friends, thanks so much for your readership and for the part you play in the MHR journey. Right now we’re reading submissions for the Winter 2023 issue, and we look forward to publishing the issue in February!

Thanks again, too, for your excellent work in the world.

Tyler Robert Sheldon, Editor-in-Chief
