We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates about The Quiet Reader and our commitment to bringing you the finest in literary craftsmanship.
The Numbers Speak Volumes
Out of an impressive 191 submissions received in the last two months, only 24 captivating stories made it to our esteemed Staff Readers for an in-depth review. From this carefully curated selection, 5 extraordinary pieces emerged, ready to grace the pages of our upcoming edition.
While these five stories are truly exceptional, we believe that our readers deserve an even richer tapestry of narratives. This realization has led us to an important decision about our publishing approach.
A Shift in Our Publishing Approach
Initially, we had our sights set on a September release for the next edition of The Quiet Reader. However, our unwavering dedication to high-quality and serious good writing has led us to an important decision. Rather than adhering to a seasonal schedule, we’re embracing a more fluid approach that prioritizes excellence over timing.
Quality: Our North Star
At The Quiet Reader, we believe that truly exceptional storytelling knows no deadline. Our high standards are not just a benchmark; they’re a promise to you, our readers, that every story we publish will be nothing short of remarkable.
Looking Ahead: A New Publishing Model
Moving forward, we’re excited to announce a dynamic publishing model. Instead of fixed seasonal releases, we’ll be unveiling new editions of The Quiet Reader once we’ve gathered a collection of 10 truly outstanding stories. This approach ensures that each edition is a treasure trove of literary gems, carefully selected to inspire, move, and captivate you.
