today is one of the happiest days of my life because i get to say something i’ve dreamt of since i was a little girl: I WROTE A BOOK!!! my poetry collection, WINDOW PERSON, is available for pre-order now. ❤️🪟 sybiljournal.com/store-1/window…
It's finally here, and it's full of work from some incredible writers. It's so lovely to look at too! Do go check it out, I've got two poems in here and they're eager to be read. 📚 📖 👓
hey!! our inaugural issue is out NOW. we’re so so honored to be publishing these people and this issue 🖤🖤 link: calameo.com/read/007879319…
here is one of my poems in this! it’s about loser musicians

Thanks to @bustalklit for including my micro CNF about High School Debate in your inaugural issue. Exciting to have a space for my little slice of nostalgia. calameo.com/read/007879319…
@projectiondept we were so proud to host it!!!
& here’s another it’s about everything being For the Narrative thank you to @cambrownwrites & @academic_core for having me! 🖤
Thought this was a good one to start the year on! My poem ‘HARD LAUNCH’ was included as part of a teaser in the lead-up to the… hard launch… of the first issue of @bustalklit 💛 Full poem below & link to the website with work from two other writers, including @megannn_lynne 😍
“we are perpetual performers giving Sabbaths up for Lent for the grace of strangers’ slapping hands” We're Charlie Judd's debut publication, and we couldn't be prouder. Read Platonic Allegory (2) now: bustalklit.wixsite.com/home/post/issu…
Self-Portrait in Semi-Starvation Neurosis II ❤️❤️
“Skinny is a bootstrap sort-of religion: you die for your own sins.” “Self-Portrait in Semi-Starvation Neurosis I” by Megan Williams (@megannn_lynne) blows us away. Read this haunting piece on the BUS TALK website here: bustalklit.wixsite.com/home/post/issu…
works will be from a pair of writers we're obsessed with: @megannn_lynne @devonwebbnz and charlie judd, who doesn't have a twitter ❤️
SUPRISE! we're stoked to be dropping a small selection of pieces we love from bus talk issue 1 before we roll out the official issue (coming soon). keep an eye on the website today! 👁️
we have concepts of a plan... (kidding. i do have a fair amount of poems done. our graphics are definitely not cut-and-dry text on background, because i'm a perfectionist artist, so the visuals are also taking me some time).
drop date is likely to be december-ish! your EICs are sooo on theme of the mag (stressed highschoolers with trainwreck personal lives). thanks for your patience, guys. 🫂🫂
i promise we didn't steal your poems and run! (or- drive off, for bus talk). your EICs are hard at work creating issue 1, which has a lotta special graphics going on ;) but we're also swamped with college applications and the start of tournament season, so please be patient!
the sexual tension between debate kids (ld) and the card they can recite by memory (winter and leighton 99)

@thehiccupotamus so sorry, just saw this! general subs are closed, but that would have been fine (for you, still is! feel free to send it in anyways since we didn't get back to you and that's our bad). <3
one of our last calls before we close subs! we are looking specifically for pieces related to: gossip, high school, academia/work, theatre kids, competition, and the most pressingly: SPEECH AND DEBATE especially!!!
submissions are now CLOSED! thank you everyone for the honor of reading through your work. we're so excited to roll out issue one soon. -🚎🗣️
