BALLOONS LIT. JOURNAL

It's here, our Second Issue!

27/7/2015

 
Well...tonight I feel that I have little reason keeping myself waiting for 1 Aug. I have decided to do it like the last issue - releasing it a bit earlier than promised! Any complaint about that?

So, Issue Two is here, born healthily with 48 rich pages from talented creators globally. Do download it or flip it online or both! Desktop or laptop or tablet or print it out...just preferrably not reading on your cell phone - the screen is too small for the great works! 

Finally, I can be relaxed a little...I'm in no hurry of the audio tracks but if you do wanna send me your version of some pieces, go ahead ;) I always welcome pleasant surprises!

Tell me what you think and keep your good work coming this way! 

Happy reading and thank you for helping us grow!

Cheers,

Pete 

BLJ 2 is almost ready to go...

25/7/2015

The second issue of BALLOONS Lit. Journal is scheduled to be released in August. And now it's being finalized with contributors' and advisers' feedback. I foresee that it'll be ready really soon, perhaps on 1 Aug, if not earlier!

Let's take a look at the cover page of BLJ 2 featuring Izabela Urbaniak's stunning photography.

This issue has the same number of pages as the last one. In addition to poetry, prose and art, this issue displays photography and an essay too! I'm really happy with the variety and quality of work in BLJ 2.  

I hope it will inspire more readers, especially the young, to read, write and create!

Happy summer!

Pete

Re: Issue 2 further updates

Issue 2 is at its previewing stage where contributors and the BLJ reading team are invited to approve the final version of the magazine. Also, the foreword will be written by an invited educator who has given me so much inspiration and encouragement in my teaching and writing endeavours. If things go smoothly, I'll stick with August (hopefully early August) when the magazine is released online. Will update you soon!

Issue 2 further updates...

8/7/2015

 
I'd say that Issue Two's first draft is 70% complete. It's getting tricky to wrap it up with the final pieces because the page numbering may not go right. The job is not as easy as I thought partly because my schedule is yet to allow me to fully invest time into the design of the magazine. I am aware that some of the contributors (and readers) are getting a bit impatient for the publication of this second issue. In fact, I should be the one who's more impatient. But I won't force myself to finish it in a rush (I don't think any of the writings I accepted were done in a hurry either). Quality comes first. I will find the best quality time to complete this issue. I have a good feeling about this and I hope you will feel the same.
