Flashstar Magazine is a writing magazine that will be available in Web and downloadable PDF format for free. It will be published regularly in 2018.
As the assistant editor on this magazine I get to read a lot of submissions, and I must say the quality is very high. I have every confidence this will become a popular magazine for authors who want to go beyond the margins of conventional writing. When writers have the freedom to challenge conventions, surprising things happen. This happens on every page of this magazine. It is a pleasure to work with editors and contributors who are not afraid to be bold and original, and push the boundaries of creativity.
Writers like Vincent Moore, Uma Venkatraman, Allene Angelica, Marifel Dungo and many more are doing things different. Creative people here are not constrained by anything. Look at them as they are, not as you think they should be. Art also gets fair representation and there is plenty of scope for magazine covers from budding artists. Cathy Nerujen's motto is - "if it doesn't haunt you, then it isn't beautiful enough..." I trust her as an editor.
Every issue after Issue No. 2 will include an interview with a writer, poet, artist or photographer in some field of creativity in Flashstar. We get to spend time with original creative people who have plenty to say.
By making Flashstar Magazine available as a downloadable magazine and web-friendly, everyone gets to read us. The magazine will be easy to read and enjoy on all mobile devices. iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows and Nokia readable.
The website is created thanks to Weebly so it's responsive and well behaved. It's a big well trusted name and we love working with Weebly. Whether a writer, poet artist or photographer, this magazine has something for you.
All you have to do is sit back, read and enjoy. It's all good.
Flashstar will be launching a Writers Award in 2018. More details will be published when we are ready. We want to showcase great talent. We will recognize and reward that creativity.
