Most of you know I am a big fan of Mslexia. I was published in their issue last Christmas, and also was mentioned in their previous issue (thanks Melissa). I think my favourite thing was they were the first creative writing magazine I discovered that was also available in my university library. I wanted to submit to journals in the past, but I just didn’t feel confident. I loved reflective and expressive writing, but I didn’t know before then that personal writing could be respected in an academic institution. Particularly, my writing.

Mslexia has a regular competition where you can win books. I normally glance at the titles, but I hadn’t seen any that piqued my interest until I saw Burn It Down! Feminist Manifestos for the Revolution. I filled in my details and didn’t think any more of it.

I only won a copy today! Woo. Thanks Mslexia and Verso.

Here’s hoping the rest of the month is this good!
