Dear writers and readers,

We the editors of Winged are deeply grateful for the plethora of high-quality writing we received during our open call for submissions, September 1-March 15. You’re helping us lay the foundations for what promises to be a beautiful book inside and out. We couldn’t be more grateful and inspired!

Many of you have asked, When will I hear back about my submission?

Right now, we’re giving each piece very careful consideration, and we promise to be in touch with you as soon as we can. When we extended our submission deadline to March 15th, we gave more writers the opportunity to submit their work, which meant pushing our notification deadline. We expect to be in touch with you before June 15th.

In the meantime, we hope you’re continuing to engage with pollinator conservation and celebration, both in the fields and on the page. Please visit our resources page for ways to get active in protecting pollinators and enjoying pollinators in art.

Do you have an upcoming event that supports pollinators or art-as-activism? Reach out to us via Twitter and Facebook. We’d love to help you spread the word.

Thanks again, and we’ll talk soon!

Love,

Jill & Melissa
