@rosequartzmag Such a hard decision for you, but an honest one. And you still amplified very important voices that may not have been heard where they were needed, otherwise.
You will always have done that.

[rose quartz magazine @rosequartzmag]

@nowherechey yes i do plan to keep the site up so folks can access their work!

@rosequartzmag has been so incredibly good to my work, along with countless others, & it's sad to see it end, but not everything can last forever. sending warmth, understanding & love to @theblackbuffy , who will always be an inspiration, & to the rest of the rose quartz team.

Hearing of @rosequartzmag’s end saddens me. Which is why I want to stress the important of supporting indie publications. How can you do that?

So sad to see this :( I highly encourage you all to go through this thread; online mags put an enormous amount of effort into their work & are grossly undervalued. I'm sorry to hear this, thank you for adding value to the community 💖
