The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

November 12, 2022

A recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review. Intro by Christopher Linforth.

This is the last week to submit creative work to Atticus Review! Submissions close on the 15th. If you have any short pieces ready to go, our flash fiction contest is now open! The amazing Sara Lippmann is judging. Full contest rules are available here.

On the Attic this week, Marissa Hoffmann writes about books and their messages and how they helped her through writer's block. Jordan McQueen reviews the story collection Tell Me What You See by Terena Elizabeth Bell.

Also, did you know our terrific podcast, Atticus After Dark, has four episodes? More are also dropping soon!

Remember you can always visit the Atticus Headquarters in Arizona. Stop by for a chat and pick up a book or record at Atticus Books & Music.

Until next time, thanks so much for reading.
