A message from Ian:
My friend Melissa Desveaux and I launched a literary magazine this year, KaleidoScript: Bridging Fiction with Reality. We've been receiving Fiction and Nonfiction stories for publication.

Since Hurricane Helene and lots of other crisis events are going on in the world, we've held off from publishing until December. We want to make efforts to capture stories of hope on a global scale. We would like to collect stories from people whether they are hurricane victims or involved in relief aid. There are too many stories to capture everything in writing. I'm thinking for Hurricane Helene, I'll title the section, "America Rises in the Midst of Adversity." From the collection of stories, I'll give a summary of the experiences and outcomes to capture the spirit behind what is happening. Between Halloween and the election, it'll make an interesting documentation. If you would like to contribute or know people who could submit, feel free to use/share the submission link provided.
