Dear readers and writers,
It is with sadness that we must announce that CultNoise will not be returning.
We have thought long and hard about how to bring CultNoise back in ways that would benefit the magazine's legacy, but sadly things have not worked out. This wasn't an easy decision. CultNoise meant the world to us, and in many ways consumed our lives for the better part of 2 years.
Many of the previous reasons still stand: Sami's deteriorating mental health, my caring for her, and my own mental illness all contributes to a situation that makes the demands of running a daily magazine extremely difficult if not impossible.
The editors have also now moved on to new projects that better suit their current lifestyles, and require much less daily focus than the running of CultNoise. Sami now manages Inside The Bell Jar, a literary magazine focusing on mental illness, while Matt manages Between Worlds, a literary magazine focused on speculative fiction. We hope you'll find your way there and 'like' their respective pages, and perhaps submit some of your own fiction too.
For now, we would like to thank everyone who contributed and read CultNoise over the years. Writers should consult the CultNoise Writers Facebook Group or email [email protected] for details on how to claim articles. The facility to do so will close August 25th.
With warmest regards and thanks,
Matt Sloan and Sami Clara
