As submissions start to pour in these few days, I have to begin sorting out materials for BLJ's inaugural issue (to be released in Spring 2015, hopefully). I don't think there are or will be bad submissions, just that some of the works may not suit BLJ's readers. That's all. The writings and/or artworks are inspiring to me all the same, and I am honoured and moved by the effort that the artists put into their works. I need to thank all of the submitters for trusting the fledging BLJ. Your nutritious input will make her grow bigger and healthier! I have already started to picture what the product may look like. The project is getting more and more interesting. Can't wait to read more work!

Having tried several versions of the ad design, I finally went with this one. I am very glad to announce the call for submissions for BLJ and feel proud of doing this project. I have been receiving interesting work from interesting people. I am starting to picture the inaugural issue of BLJ!

It's been years since I wanted to start a lit journal like this and seeing it's formation today is surreal. This has to be a labour of love - we spend time and money on it but don't make money out of it. We just want to do something for children, locally and internationally. This is for whoever is enlightened by reading it. We hope it's born healthy and adorable! Simply can't wait to start reading from submitters! Can't wait finding nutritious food for this newborn. Keep the good work coming this way!
