WHY MUSCADINES ?

"Muscadines?" you ask. "Why muscadines?" Well, I wanted something southern! And I like the color purple.

Those joyful little grape morsels about the size of a hog's eye grew abundant on my grandparents' farm in Mississippi. When I was a little girl, I rode Dixie, the old mare, bareback down a red dirt lane to a vine that grew wild and high. I plucked muscadines right off that vine, popped them into my mouth, and ate them warmed by the August sun. There's nothing sweeter.

These days, again and again, I hear frustration in the voices of new writers trying to get their work published. They're anxious to see it in print; they want people to read it; they desire feedback. Yet the market is tight, and it's hard to get a foot in the door.

An online magazine is a perfect venue for putting a writer's work out there. And there's nothing sweeter to writers than seeing their work in print—first time, every time.

GIVE IT A TRY!
