In case you're wondering, "in progress" on Submittable is kind of meaningless. At Split Lip, it just indicates that we've assigned a sub to a reading team. We assign subs quickly, but that doesn't mean anyone is actually reading them yet. We still read in the order in which they arrive.

guess i'm crying about fiction and fanfiction at 5pm on a monday. no, not any particular story, but how it's all of us saying hey, this is what it feels like
screenshot of a tumblr post of a photo of a book post by vexheart book says "borders and divides. There are large, glamorous industries around stories; the book industry, the movie industry, the television industry, the theatre industry. But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I'm say-ing? Does it also feel this way to you?" author - Kazuo Ishiguro, My Twentieth Century Evening and Other Small Breakthroughs

In 2023 while in NOLA, a Lyft Driver and I had a conversation about leaving home. It led to him telling me about his terminal diagnosis. “An editor told me once that if you want to understand a war, interview the grave diggers. I’d add that if you want to understand a city, interview the drivers.”

From "Letter to my Izmirli ancestors,” by Judy Nahum, winner of the Expedition Press Broadside Contest. A lovely write-up of the poem, its selection, and the making of the broadside here: expedition.press/blogs/articl...
Broadside of an except poem of "Letter to my Izmirli ancestors,” by Judy Nahum.

When a language dies, there is no funeral. It loses breath, gasping by the generation, until words turn to fossils & unearthing one means hearing the call of an extinct bird. Vanishing-blue. I want to see your smiles more clearly, to know the shuffle of your slippers along a darkened hallway. My tenderest wound is grasping for my own blood, for what is mine & not mine all at once. Would you recognize me as I am? Would you know me in another language? Forgive me this wistful-blue. I am piecing together a map missing entire continents. I am drawing the night sky on my bedroom ceiling, but I can’t remember half the stars.⭐️

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.” He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.

The publishing industry views Bluesky as some tiny unimportant island out somewhere in a far-off ocean. It's not worthy of their attention like Amazon Algoland or The Republic Of Instagram Influencer Collaborativepost is. What they don't realise is just how much the island's inhabitants love books.

She wears a brightly patterned vest over a black shirt embroidered with a flower, delicate gold dangle earrings, a gold bindi, a gold necklace patterned with flowers and leaves in white and red gems, and a long black scarf around her neck and pinned. She looks into the camera with a small, happy smile.Head-and-shoulders color photo of author Premee Mohamed, a woman with light brown skin and with black hair worn in loose, glossy curls and waves down to her shoulders. She wears a black sweater with a pattern of large white stars, black pants, a bracelet, a watch with a metal band, richly magenta lipstick, and cat-eye eyeliner. She stands on a damp-looking path between two rows of trees with green-and-gold foliage, her hands in her pockets, posture upright. She gazes at something above and beyond the camera, eyes bright and lips slightly parted, as if she doesn’t even know she’s smiling.
