🔔ISSUE 1 IS LIVE
Featuring work from Luxembourg, Singapore, USA & India!
Six months ago, I was sitting in the back of a rainy cab in September, heading home from ballet class. I had an idea that felt, honestly, a bit “ludicrous.” I wanted to build a platform for creative kids. I wanted to start a magazine.
My parents told me to “go for it.” Today, that ludicrous idea is a 40+ page issue featuring work from five states in India, along with writers from Singapore, Luxembourg and USA.
Inside Issue 1
The heart of this issue is our Ink For Iridescence initiative. We partnered with the Sakhi Trust to spotlight the brilliant young artists of Hosapete—children who rarely get a chance to showcase their work.
You will find the winning piece of the Young Writers Ekphrastic Contest we hosted with Phosphorescent Lit, and the work of several creative teenagers on Substack including Journey Bloomfield and Selah Cross!
This issue, is collection of raw and honest perspectives, ideas and thoughts. Nebulae and marigolds, flags to pongal pots. this issue has it all!

A Note of Gratitude: To my incredible Editorial Board (Aanyaa, Kyle, and Havish), Phosphorescent Lit, Sakhi Trust, our Adult Advisory Board, the people who noticed and motivated us on Substack and every single parent who encouraged their child to submit: Thank you. We did this together. We built something that matters.
