February (and iō's 8th birthday 🥳) flew by as we were getting volume 5 ready, but we are happy to announce that the volume has been published, orders have (mostly) been shipped, and we will have some extra copies on hand to sell in Baltimore!

Just a reminder that the AWP work exchange is still open for sign up (deadline Feb. 4th). One of our editors, Crys, got to do it last year and got to attend the conference for free for volunteering for a 4 hr shift. Great opportunity for anyone interested!

Today marks the end of #HispanicHeritageMonth, and we wanted to celebrate some of our favorite pieces by Latine writers over the years from each of our print volumes and our open-access ebook, Tales from Six Feet Apart!

[iō Literary Journal (Open call - Vol 5!) @io_lit]

As a Latina-led literary journal, we're proud to showcase voices from the Latine community. We founded iō in 2018 to uplift underrepresented writers and artists and challenge the traditional literary canon.

¡Gracias por soportándonos durante los años!
