Sapling issue #848

The one in which we talk to Amanda Johnston of Torch Magazine and Torch Literary Arts.

Hi writers.

To kick things off, here are a few articles I dug into on LitHub this week—from the highly frustrating to the inspirational: “New York Mayor Mamdani is breaking his promise on library funding,” “The Trump administration is illegally gutting NASA’s largest research library,” “What Happens When Your Books (Don’t) Get Banned?” and “How Finding My Narrator Brought My Entire Book Together.” Hope you find something in there for you!

Now, here’s what’s happening in the small press world this week.
