Hotch Potch – A New Literary ‘Zine, Coming June 15th

Hotch Potch – A New Literary ‘Zine, coming your way June 15th. Hallo, Friends and Neighbors! I’m thrilled to announce my role as contributing editor for an exciting new online literary magazine. The name of the ‘Zine, as you’ve probably guessed, is Hotch Potch. Yessir, a stew, a melange, a mix of yummy literary bits and bobs.

What is a Hotch Potch?

The Hotch Potch Mission

What happens when you gather up a group of writers and artists, throw them in a cauldron of creativity, then give them a good stir and simmer? Stories! Art! More! This is the Hotch Potch Mission:

We are a stew. A quilt. A jam band.

Chaos. Dexterity. Precipice. 

Concocting. Hatching. Dazzling. 

A bunch of bitchy buds. Wacky whizzes. Sprightly speculators.

We long to belong.

As a collective, we want to discover, delight, differentiate. We want to provoke and unify, collaborate to share stories and images, to experience what it means to create together, to redefine and expand our own creative processes. We make art to share with curious fellow travelers like you.

The Long Road

Hotch Potch began seven months ago with a few tentative emails and the germ of an idea. A whole lot of work went into the concepts, the stories, and the artwork. Next step: ladle all of those fine ingredients into the creative cauldron, simmer and bubble. Stir, stir, stir! Next step: turn all of that fine stew over to the layout grunt (that would be yours truly). Bubble, bubble, bubble! Then, a month of layout work, revisions, then more layout work.

In the end, a shining sunrise, a moment to savor, and we realize that the deadline will be met! Yee Haw, and other various exclamatory whatnot! Bottom line, look for a lovely new literary ‘Zine, coming to you on June 15th. Mark your calendars, my Lovely Readers! Mark it in red, and mark it Hotch Potch.
