Dear Esteemed Readers,
As the publishers and editors of Literal Magazine and our publishing house Literal Publishing, we extend our warmest wishes to you during this festive season. It has been a remarkable year for us, and we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and engagement with our bilingual magazine.
In the spirit of the holidays, we reflect on the immense value that the arts and culture bring to our lives and society. These expressions not only entertain and inspire but also serve as bridges connecting diverse communities. In an interconnected world, it becomes increasingly important to find solace in the cultural tapestry of our neighboring countries, fostering understanding and unity.
As we approach the end of this year, we believe it is essential to take a moment of reflection and appreciation. Therefore, Literal, as we always do, will be taking a brief pause during this holiday season to recharge and prepare for the exciting literary journey that lies ahead. We encourage you to delve into the rich cultural offerings we´ve published all these years that you can find in our archives. Explore the beauty of language, the depth of storytelling, and the diversity of artistic expressions.
Rest assured, we will return with renewed energy and fresh perspectives in the first week of January. Get ready for an extraordinary celebration next year as Literal turns 20 yrs. old! Brace yourselves for a year of surprises and special moments that will mark two decades of literary excellence and cultural exploration.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you, exploring the vibrant world of the arts and culture together.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, connection, and the joy of cultural exploration.
Warm regards,
Rose Mary, David, Malva and Tanya
