Our winter issue is now online! Go have a look, why don’tcha?
Late last year, we serialized Lauren Almeida’s amazing story "Abandonment of the Flint" on our front page. Today, Lauren took some time to answer a few questions about creating the story, her writing process, and her future plans; you can read it after the cut.
The interview, and the story, also now have a permanent mini-site which you can view here.
Enjoy!
