Special Summer Editions: HEAT and FLASH
A deep bow to all of you who sent your words and art to our upcoming PRIDE Issue. Every submission revealed new ways of being that push the boundaries of what art can become. We can’t wait to share the full issue with you next week.
If you sent us something for the PRIDE Issue and didn’t hear back, you won’t ever receive a notice of rejection from us, and your words will always remain active in KHÔRA's ocean. We know this process is not perfect—we are always rethinking and searching, and wish to stay open to the possibility that at any point, your work will be a fit for a curated issue or team-collaboration.
There’s still time to send us your work for the upcoming HEAT and FLASH Issues.
The deadline for HEAT is July 1. Maximum 2K words.
The deadline for FLASH is July 14. Maximum 500 words.
When you click the links below, you’ll be taken to KHÔRA’s website. Writers, click on 500 Words to complete the submission form.
Under the question, “Is there anything else you’d like to add?” please include the name of the issue (HEAT, FLASH) and your bio, maximum one paragraph.
KHÔRA’s INTERIOR ROOMS
“I wanted to get to a place where I dug so much that water flowed easily, but the truth is the water doesn’t always flow easy…” — Deborah Stein
We invited Deborah Stein to send us a piece for KHÔRA’s INTERIOR ROOMS — a space where our favorite writers and artists pull back the curtain on their daily practices, creative rituals, and the rhythms that fuel their work. This private room is available exclusively to our paid subscribers.
KHÔRA the magazine remains open to all, but if you're curious about the alchemy behind the art, this is your invitation.
See you inside,
Leigh Hopkins | Editor/Curator

I discover where the ditch flow slows and pools. Looks like I have to dig, to dig out the ditch this morning at the points where the water slows, pools, won’t rush to fix us.
