A Dark Wood: Writing Guidelines
Welcome
Welcome to A Dark Wood. Pour a cup of coffee or another favorite beverage and have a seat next to the fire. Whether you are a reader or a writer or a little bit of both, I’m glad you found this space. I am figuring out how this works.
A Dark Wood recognizes and seeks to include diverse populations. As an editor, I am committed to publishing a wide range of well-written stories that reflect a variety of perspectives and experiences. I hope you will consider adding your voice to those beginning to congregate here.
