A Personal Note of Thanks and Farewell

Thank you.

When I joined Split Lip in April 2017, I wanted to find ways to make our contributors feel like they were part of something. I wanted the joy and connection of publication to last longer than the period of time the issue was up.

And I was so glad – and lucky – to join a team that held those same ideas and has worked so hard to bring them into reality.

It has been an absolute joy to share this space with you all: to learn what informs your work, to get to know the people behind names on a screen, and in so many cases, to follow your writing careers from literary journals to books.

And to experience it in person, to see you in action at our AWP readings, to come together as a group and to hear your words – those moments were nothing short of powerful, and I am truly grateful to have been in those rooms.

The past two and a half years have been wonderful, and now it’s time for something new. The Lip Service blog and our author spotlights will continue, though.

Thanks for sharing this space, and so much else, with me.

All the best, and for one last time,

Amy Rossi, Managing Editor
