I am excited to share the news that we will be publishing a Selected Works issue in 2025. This special edition will celebrate some of the best pieces from our first 30 issues, which span from Fall 2008 through Fall 2023. 

The pieces included in our journal since its founding have reflected the world around us—its beauty, challenges, and changes. There is hope and connection, the search for meaning in the midst of loss, and an exploration of the interconnection and ongoing transformation of the world.

Our journal has always been a collaborative effort, shaped by our writers and readers. As we prepare this special issue, we invite you to nominate the pieces that have resonated with you. To nominate a piece for this special issue, please send the title, writer, and issue number to editor@willowswept.com by October 31. 

Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to reading your nominations and sharing this milestone issue with you.
