Masthead Changes at GS for our Upcoming Submissions Period!

After ten strong issues with us— one as a poetry reader, nine as our Poetry Editor— Sophie Klahr has decided to change gears in the Gigantic Sequins world and is stepping into a newly created Contributing Editor position. We’re grateful for the time she spent as Poetry Editor and very excited about her new position. Make sure to check out her Editor’s Note in our forthcoming 6.1 issue!

This being said, we’re happy to announce that Sommer Browning will be our Guest Poetry Editor for issue 6.2! Get to know Sommer a little better by visiting our website’s About page, purchasing at least one if not also the other of her great books, both out from the great Birds LLC (our “Row 700” buddies for 2015’s AWP), and following her ASAP on twitter.

Additionally, we’ve hired J.E. Reich as our Assistant Non-fiction Editor! She’s an Editor at Medium, and her novella The Demon Room is available as an ebook or an audiobook.

We’re so happy to have these two ladies on board with us as we move into 2015.
