Next week, we will be releasing the ebook, Hello Gorgeous, ten years of brilliant stories of life. Our editors have grouped short stories in this anthology into four sections. Each section is named after an element necessary for plant growth, taking inspiration from the leaf in our logo. The final section is titled Seed. 

'Seed stories are stories that encompass the key moments in a human life: birth, death and resurrection. While we don’t have any stories about physical resurrection, there are several that can only be described in those terms as the writers narrate dramatic transformation through Jesus Christ. Seeds are a rich metaphor in the Bible of new life, growth and potential, and there are stories in this final section that beautifully exemplify these.'

Claire Bell, Editor, Hello Gorgeous

By the way, the Sycamore seed in the feature image above is by Ian Lindsay. Thank you Ian!

The other three sections in the anthology are Sun, Earth and Air.

Feedback Month: last days!

Meanwhile, there are just three days left to Feedback Month. If you haven't already done so, please take advantage of the skill and generosity of our editors. There is no direct contact between Feedback Editors and story writers. (We find that the cloak of anonymity can help when stories are still in progress.) Our administrator MK sends every draft we receive to one of our Feedback Editors. They receive your stories as anonymous pieces of work.

After receiving feedback, however, many writers have expressed appreciation and gratitude. If you wish to thank them after receiving feedback, you can send your message to MK and she will pass it on to the person who gave you feedback. There has been a lot of goodwill generated this June, and we hope that you will be able to share in it.
