Just a reminder that the AWP work exchange is still open for sign up (deadline Feb. 4th). One of our editors, Crys, got to do it last year and got to attend the conference for free for volunteering for a 4 hr shift. Great opportunity for anyone interested! conference.awpwriter.org/work_exchange_…

So excited to announce our Creative Nonfiction Contest Winner, Mary Krawczyk! Mary's piece, "Mother or Not, Here I Come," will be featured alongside an interview. You can read both in our upcoming 5th volume, which is available for preorder until January 31st (link in bio)!

As a Latina-led literary journal, we're proud to showcase voices from the Latine community. We founded iō in 2018 to uplift underrepresented writers and artists and challenge the traditional literary canon. ¡Gracias por soportándonos durante los años!

Today marks the end of #HispanicHeritageMonth, and we wanted to celebrate some of our favorite pieces by Latine writers over the years from each of our print volumes and our open-access ebook, Tales from Six Feet Apart!
