Isolines Magazine

Hi folks! You may have noticed there’s been some radio silence on our end for a while, as we took a small break from this project over the summer. But we’ve also been busy working on some future ideas for Isolines. Here’s a wee hint of what’s coming very soon:

Submissions for round three of our issue "Waiting for a play to start" closes tonight at midnight! Take your inspiration from the photo in the pinned post on our profile and send your text to [email protected] 🎭

Hiiii to all new followers 🌻 What are you all reading this weekend? We’ll go first: in between unpacking moving boxes, we’re reading Olivia Laing, Elena Ferrante and Ali Smith!

It’s hot in the UK and the team is very busy behind the scenes. Because we run solely on a voluntary basis we’ve made the decision to extend the submission deadline one week. BUT that means another week for you to get your texts in 🌼 NEW DEADLINE: Sunday 25 July at midnight 🌼

This is a reminder that submissions are open till this Sunday. That’s July 18th. Get your brilliant texts in 🌟

The photograph below inspired the texts in our two recent tweets ❤️ Every three weeks we publish a new photograph that we want writers of all forms to take inspiration from 🧡 We still have two more photos to publish before the end of the first issue and we’re loving it 💛

Our other text submissions in this round comes from @JoshEffiong, it’s "The Currency Of Beautiful". A Nigerian by birth and studying Science Laboratory Technology at University of Calabar. Joshua Effiong is a lover of poetry & here he finds freedom.

It’s Wednesday which means we post brand new texts submissions 🤩 First up is "The Aggrandizement" by Colin James. He has a book of poetry, The Paralytically Obscure As Beauty Crescendo, available from The Book Patch. He lives in Massachusetts.

If you didn’t get a chance in the first round of submissions, round two is open for three more days 💛

One week to go until the deadline for round two of text submissions - eek! 🌞 If you need an update on how our submission system works, have a read on this post:
