Dear Weave Magazine Readers, Subscribers, and Supporters,
Weave Magazine is in transition: we're expanding our team, looking for new ways to share our contributors' work, and other exciting changes. In order to accomplish these goals, we've decided to delay the publication of issue 12 and close submissions early this year.
Our reading period will end one week from today on Sunday, March 15th at 11:59 am PDT with plans to reopen in the fall. We apologize in advance to anyone who misses the window, and we hope you'll think of us again. Please sign up to receive our blog posts via email (right column, third box) to keep up with the latest Weavey developments.
Subscribers who are waiting on issue 12 - we're sorry for the delay, but we promise this issue will be worth the wait. Feel free to email us about concerns, refunds, or any other questions.
As always, thank you for supporting Weave and independent publishing.
Be well,
Laura & the Weave Gang

Weave exists because of our amazing contributors. Weave exists because of the support of our local arts and literary community. Weave exists because of subscribers.Our past subscription drives have been successful, and we want to continue that success this month while celebrating our latest issue. Our goal for this drive is 50 subscriptions in 30 days, because we believe in our community, our mission, our contributors, and in YOUR support!

- Two copies of Weave Magazine at a sweet discount!
- A public thank you on our website, including a link to yours!
- A warm fuzzy feeling for supporting independent publishing!
We just reopened to submissions, so it is the perfect time to get your hands Weave. If you are sending us work, consider supporting the publications in which you envision your work. Support indie publishing by subscribing to a fantastic journal of the best in contemporary art and writing.

Weave's Growth Spurt
Open Letter to Weave Readers, Subscribers & Contributors,
Weave has been growing steadily since we began four years ago this month. What started as a two-person project has flourished into a team of more than a dozen, publishing hundreds of writers and artists. Yet, with a team consisting entirely of volunteers who all have jobs (including myself), it has become difficult to find the time to make any changes that will encourage further progress.
In order to keep up with this growth, we have decided to move the publication of issue 08 to winter, most likely early 2013. Therefore no issue will be released in June this year. We will, of course, fulfill any current or future subscriptions affected by this change; those that are owed issue 08 will receive it in early 2013. As a thank you gift, all subscribes to issue's 07 & 08 by June 31st will receive a back issue of Weave for free! So SUBSCRIBE today!
Some of the upcoming changes include bringing on new staff, experimenting with the design of our print issues, and developing more online content. Weave's online book reviews are already expanding under the leadership of our new Reviews Editor, Thom Dawkins.
Additionally, we are announcing a new reading period. As of today Weave is open to submissions September 1st through May 31st. We will remain open year-round for current subscribers.
We appreciate your patience during our growth spurt over the next six months. We're excited about these changes and hope you are too.
Warmly,
Laura E. Davis

Issue Seven Arrives
Weave is proud to announce the release of our seventh issue this December. With each issue, I am still giddy when Weave arrives from the printer on my doorstep. This new object I can hold, that I can place in someone else's hands. Before printing, the stories and poems and art were tangible through the vivid imagery of their creators, but now these pieces are a collective "thing" that marks another successful collaboration between editors, writers, and now finally, readers.
Issue 07 features incredible stories, including those selected for our first flash fiction contest, winner Kelly Baron's "White Bread" and honorable mention Andra Hibbert's "Blighted." You'll also find poems from our first poetry contest; winner Caleb Curtiss' "Dream" and honorable mentions from Noel Sloboda, Jada Ach, and Meg Cowan.
2011 is the first year Weave nominated poems and prose for the Pushcart Prize and issue seven includes three nominees: Lawrence Wray's poem "Alicante," and in nonfiction, Orman Day's "A Whimsical Current" and Eric Tran's "Lipstick Jungle."
Saturday, January 28th Weave celebrated the release of issue 07, along with issue 06, with a reading at Remedy in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. The event included readings from contributors along with musical performances. Enjoy the photos of the event below.
This issue is also our largest ever, packed with poems from Carol Berg, Nicelle Davis, Noelle Kocot, and Nicholas YB Wong, fiction from Ellen McGrath Smith, Brooks Rexroat, and Anthony Varallo, nonfiction from Hannah Karena Jones and Julie Marie Wade, and art by Shoshana Kertesz, Jeannie Lynn Paske, Lindsey Peck Scherloum, among others.

Weave News!
There is much going on here at Weave Magazine!
Margaret, Laura, Joel, and Robyn are plugging away at the plethora of submissions for issue 04. If you haven't heard from us yet, never fear! Margaret swears all responses will be sent by April 15th, come hell or high water.
Weave will be heading to the AWP again this year - we're sharing a table with the fine folks over at Open Thread and Margaret will be on the panel The In Sound from Way Out: Submission to Publication - come by and introduce yourself! We love meeting contributors and readers! Margaret promises to only be a little bit socially awkward. She's full of promises it seems.
In fun distribution news, you can now pick up a copy of Weave at Awesome Books on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh (they don't seem to have a website yet, but it's a lovely independent used bookstore right next to Spak Brothers, for those familiar with the area). Weave is also available at the independent bookstore Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley. Margaret and Laura can't wait to go there and poke around!
Finally, we at Weave are having a special offer for the remainder of the month of March! Only a few copies of Weave's first issue remain, and the next 8 people who subscribe to Weave will receive a copy of issue 01 for FREE! How awesome is that? Totally awesome and you know it. So go subscribe!
