by Vijay Anand | Aug 14, 2020 | 0
This time our August issue is coming out later than expected and I thank all our readers and writers for being patient with us for the last few weeks, while we were compiling this issue under various constraints. This issue, like our previous issues is coming up with some interesting contents from our existing as well as some new writers who all have done an excellent job. In the recent days, we are receiving increasing number of review articles and poems from our contributors rather than other forms of literary work. Even though we would like to give more space for these genres, considering the overall quality of the magazine we will be restricting the number of reviews and poems per issue. Confluence is a literary magazine for a general readership, so we would like to ask our contributors to submit their work making sure it is suitable for general readership. As you all know, we are proud of introducing new writers regularly. In this issue too we have introduced a few new writers, and I hope our readers will find their articles, stories, or poems interesting. The pandemic has changed our day to day life very much within a short period of time. Even though it has brought about untold misery to many families and individuals, it has also proved that how fast we are able to adapt to new routine, as mentioned in our front-page article. Let us all hope and pray that this pandemic will soon be over, and life will return to normal again. Even though this issue has been delayed, we will soon accept your submissions for our November issue so please send your writings by first week of October so we will have enough time to compile the issue. May I again remind all our writers to stick to the limit of 1000 words and send us high quality pictures only.
