Dus – Melinda – The Quiet Reader – An International Literary Magazine

What are we looking for?

We love writing that is adventurous, fresh, and evokes the excitement of a late-summer first day of school. We want to deeply know your characters and embark on journeys where we can smell, taste, and hear the vivid settings you create.
