The Garden of Our Dreams - Thin Skin
You sit up and stretch your arms as I fumble for the alarm. I had the strangest dream, you say through a yawn. We had this luscious garden and grew all our own vegetables.

Apologies if we've confused you. For a while our submissions page said we couldn't take poetry due to a technical glitch but our posts said we could. All is now resolved and we are now definitely open to poetry. So get going!

We had a technical glitch for poetry submissions but it's all fixed, so...open to poetry! (But please read the submission guidelines first)

One week left to submit for Issue 7! Closing on the 14th, reopening on 1st May. And don't forget, people, we'll be taking poetry from then too. Guidelines up shortly on thin-skin.com. In the meantime, if you haven't read Issue 6, you're missing out on some great work!

We've recruited three lovely new readers but we'd like three or four more, particularly if you consider yourself underrepresented in the literary world. Not essential though. We just want good readers. Get in touch at info@thin-skin.com

A bit of bump in the road. We're going to close to submissions for a few weeks. Nothing terrible, but one of our editors will be absent for a while and the other editors can't pick up the slack because of 'real life' commitments. We'll let you know as soon we're open again.
