The Midsummer Note is an online journal run by two recent college graduates who miss the fun and stimulation of their writing workshop classes. We welcome submissions of all kinds including short fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and photography (and will be happy to make room for novel excerpts, dramas, essays, artwork, or any other type of creation your brilliant brain may come up with). We publish original works that entertain, inspire, or intrigue us! We also offer constructive feedback to those who desire it. You maintain full rights to anything you send us and we accept and encourage simultaneous submissions. We want to help you get your writing out into the world where it belongs.
About the Editors
Kai
Anastasia
Kai is a writer, reader, editor, and introvert from Northern Wisconsin now living in the Twin Cities. She graduated college in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in English and writing. In college, she worked as an editor for her university's literary journal (and she's missed it ever since!). Now she is employed editing content for English language arts exams. Though this work pays the bills, she can't describe it as her passion. She gets her vitalization from reading novels, writing short stories, and adventuring outdoors. Someday, Kai hopes to work for a publishing house. In the mean time, she's excited to work with her roommate, friend, and fairy companion Anastasia on The Midsummer Note!
Anastasia is a pint sized reader and writer who’s energy is greatly disproportionate to her size. She fancies herself a world traveler, though monetary limitations make it so she hasn’t seen all of it (yet!) She has recently returned from living in South America and for now she is content with exploring around the Twin Cities, creating experimental recipes, and hiking the great outdoors of Minnesota. When she isn’t managing a literary journal she is working on her blog or youtube channel which both focus on living a thriving vegan lifestyle.
