Print Version of Miranda Spring 09 is Ready!

The print version of Miranda Literary Magazine Spring 2009 is ready. Click on the cover below and check it out or go to the website and look around. Thanks for your support and interest in our magazine.

Cover Story – Accepting Submissions

The new cover of the Spring 2009 print version, which will be available very soon, has an interesting design. We want you to write a story that connects the two (back and front covers) and come up an inspired art form. Send them to submissions@mirandamagazine.com – and put “COVER STORY” in the subject line – and we will publish the best entry. Check it out and send us your story, poem, or whatever you create. We will send your stories to our Art Director Cynthia Samul for the final decision (after all, it is her design). Note, the image below is only the front cover.

Light, Camera, Miranda

We want your version or reading of creative work on video to include on our website and on our YouTube channel. Come on, you know you love the camera, work it, create it, send it.

Send to norlumas@gmail.com – can’t wait to see you.
