Dear Readers & Writers,

It’s been a very difficult couple of weeks for our country and the world at large. We at TERSE. Journal are empathetic and are also processing the overwhelming influx of information concerning COVID-19. The well-being and safety of our editorial team is of the utmost importance, so it is fortunate to share that the entire TERSE. staff is comprised of remote professionals.

We are literary enthusiasts from diverse communities across North America. Our writers come from all over the world.

As the new editor in chief, I am committed to supporting our editorial team in considering every submission that is sent to TERSE. Journal. We encourage writers to continue to send in your work, and feel free to reach out with any thoughts or questions you may have. 

We send our thoughts out to all of the writers who are losing income via public events, panels and readings because of the quarantine.  Although our pay is in no way of sustainable proportions, we have the pleasure of publishing an online community of literary artists who creatively inform our culture through their brave expression. 

We’ll be publishing regularly, so we’re here to support you in any way we can.

Jordannah Elizabeth

Editor In Chief
