The Annual Letter (Issue #73, Winter 2024/2025)
This is the season when those Christmas/New Year letters start showing up. We’re sure you’ve had to read lots of bad ones: “Our life is perfect. Our family is doing so well [implied: better than yours].”
You can choose to write a good one for us. Or an honest one. Or one that is even worse than this example. But do make sure that yours is 500 words or less.
Publication date: December 18, 2024
Submissions accepted: November 13 to November 18
(Please do not submit earlier or later than those dates.)
