Review of 3.2
“Karen” at GoodReads.com wrote a review of Relief Issue 3.2 (find it HERE). We appreciate when people write reviews of our journal, so if you have written one or want to write one, let us know so we can feature it in RNT.
JunkLit.com
A new online journal has arrived on the scene under the name: “Junk, a Literary Fix.” If you head on over to JunkLit.com, you can see the start of a brand new creative nonfiction journal headed by Tim Elhajj. While Junk is not proclaiming itself as a faith based journal, they are open to CNF from the faith perspective.
Junk is still gearing up before it’s completely launched, but in the meantime they’re doing their best to build community over at http://junklitblog.wordpress.com/, so read more about what Junk is/is looking to be there..

We’re getting closer and closer to Calvin’s Festival of Faith and Writing, and we are all so excited for it! If you haven’t signed up yet, hurry! If you are signed up, we can’t wait to see you there either during the Relief panel or at our booth.
Thanks for the shout out, Ian! I do think there might be a nice cross section of Relief authors who are writing the kind of stuff we’re looking for.
FYI, the link to the GoodReads review has one too many http//’s.
It was very insightful to read the perspective of a person who doesn’t necessarily align themselves with a Christian world view.
An author and acquaintance, Doug Worgul, pointed me to Relief, and I am anxiously awaiting my copy of 3.2 and both of Coach’s Midnight Diner editions.
Most Christian fiction and literary mags are pure glurge, and lack authenticity.
Relief has giving me hope that maybe there is a place for me somewhere in Christian literature.
Junklit.com looks pretty cool. Definitely a niche market that hasn’t really been explored. I’ll be very interested to see the talent they attract as they proceed…
