pathways to imagination whispers made flesh

Open Call Is Closed

The response to our Open Call was overwhelming.

More than 1,000 whispers arrived at our door.

Fear. Grief. Memory. Longing. Some quiet. Some feral. Some strange in the most beautiful ways.

All eager to be read.

They’re with us now. Your stories. Waiting patiently in the dark.

THE READING SYNDICATE has taken their seats.

One by one, the pages are opening.

Each reader discovering the many ways a whisper can take shape.

Now the fun begins.

Thank YOu to every writer who trusted us with their work
