Quick update: the Still Here Christmas issue will be released a day or two later than planned. I was down with the flu and needed a few days to recover before finishing final edits and responses. Thank you for your patience. It’ll be worth the wait 🤍
We want raw, vulnerable pieces that explore the ghosts we carry—memories, histories, traumas, fleeting joys—the echoes of our past that haunt or shape us.
✨Emotional realism at its core. Honest. Human. Unflinching.

We’re now closed for submissions! For our first issue, we want to keep it semi-short and not exceeding a certain amount of pages, just to give future contributors the vibe Still Here has, and what we’re looking for. Thank you to everyone who’s submitted so far!
