    Big Reveal — Flagship Issue Date, Podcast Plans & New Listings!

    March 14, 2026

    Hello everyone! I have some really, really, really exciting news today!

    But before the big reveal, I have some other updates.

    The first one....


    Newsletter Schedule Change

    We are changing our newsletter from weekly to whenever. As in, we don't want to clutter up your inbox, but we do want to remind you that we exist. The truth is, I don't get much time to draft these newsletters each week, so henceforth you are going to receive a mail when we have REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS! Like today.


    As always, our general submissions are open for art, writing and multi-media. The editorial board is excited to review your submissions and feature the best ones in our flagship issue.

    Secondly, the winner of our Young Writers Ekphrastic Contest (hosted in collaboration with Phosphorescent Lit), will be announced this week! All those who submitted, keep an eye out for the results!


    New Listings!

    Next, we received a listing we DID NOT apply for! You know how cool that is? People are noticing our magazine, think we are worth submitting. Check the new listing(s) we received and applied for!

    The One We Didn't Expect:

    The Ones We Applied For:

    Magazine listing: christopherfielden.com — Short Story Magazines

    Young writer listing: christopherfielden.com — Young Writer Competitions


    We are almost at THE BIG REVEAL, hang on tight!

    We have received submissions from students representing five different Indian states, showcasing incredible cultural diversity, alongside our international contributors from four countries.

    And now, for the moment we have all been waiting for.

    Our Flagship Issue is going to come out on the 27th OF MARCH!

    That's right. 13 days from now, you will find in your inbox, an issue filled with beautiful paintings, thoughtful poetry, fascinating stories and words of advice from fellow writers.


    Podcast Series!

    Oh, and I almost forgot. We are planning on starting a podcast series, for and by students aged 6-16, immediately after the first issue. If you are below 16 years of age, and you are interested in joining our team of podcasters, then write to us at editorbluebell@gmail.com.


    Until next week! (Or Whenever We Have News)
