Dear Hive Members and Readers of CX,
We began this magazine years ago with one big goal: to publish amazing writing and celebrate the diversity of voices that we didn't think were getting enough recognition in the lit world. It's a goal that remains true to our hearts to this day.
It's also why we have decided to go on a hiatus for 2025. In the past year, we've dealt with personal stresses, world stresses, and busy lives that have kept us from being able to celebrate the work we publish as much as we should. We apologize for this.
We promise to return with a more robust staff and a clearer sense of organization so that we can continue to publish amazing work and ensure that we are shouting about it as much as we possibly can.
For now, our archives will stay up and we encourage you to read our back catalog because the work we've chosen to publish is truly amazing. Also keep an eye on this space for submission calls and information about changes to CX.
In the words of the Alien Queen: "Keep writing and stay kind." She didn't say it out loud, but she said it in her heart.
Love,
Chloe, Hannah, Teo and the CX Staff
