Issue 1

The first issue of Heartlines Spec contains the challenges, and joys, and frustrations that come from long-lasting connections. It’s a mother you never understood, a friendship that’s fierce but changing, the quiet gratitude of sipping champagne with someone you love. All the stories and poems within feature partners, families, lovers, and friends. The relationships between them are varied but strong.

Each week, we will release two pieces to read for free on our website. Paid subscribers have complete access. All subscribers can read select pieces ahead of public release.
