Yellow is the color of happiness. We can all use a good dose of cheer right about now, and these stories, poems, essays, and reviews will bring a little "happy" to your day.
Thank you so much for picking up our third issue of PINK DANDELION!
We have put together a strong collection this fall 2020 with a new "Moms of Wattpad" column by Brittney Dennis; a shout-out to the Chick Lit Noir sub-genre by Emily S. Hurricane; a poem about unrequited love and hope for new love by Alena Leikela; and an interview with popular bilingual writer Rosa Aimee which takes place (virtually) in a beautiful location in Puerto Rico, particularly good timing since we are celebrating everything Hispanic and LatinX this month on Wattpad.
Of course, we also have lots of fiction for you to enjoy this season. In "Lotus Flower," Amanda Hare writes about restoring our faith in humanity. Brittney Dennis offers a tender and exquisitely-written tale of love during the pandemic with her short story "Our Morning." Victoria's sharp dialogue and quick-witted characters charm in "Hidden Vines."
Music lover? You'll swoon for Stacie Eirich's short romance, "The Treble Cafe." Next, Shree delights with a flash fiction gem called "The Sweet and the Sour." Cynthia Dagnal-Myron thrills us with an excerpt from her Wattpad novel, The Middle Passage. Milia Hartam gifts us with another tale from the dating frontlines with her extended short- fiction piece. Finally, Athena Hernandez gives us the shivers and the sweets with her Halloween story, "The Reading."
Many thanks to Grace Mark for her wonderful illustrations and cover. Check out our News & Announcements page andour Submissions page to see how you can see your work highlighted in Wattpad's premier Chick Literary Magazine.
See you around Wattpad!
