Submissions based, advertisement free. Reads like a book, looks like a zine. ABOUT THE ZINE We’ll Never Have Paris (WNHP) is a journal of nonfiction memoir in zine format. It started as a biannual in 2007 and became an annual in 2012. WNHP Founding editor Andria Alefhi wanted to see her writing in print, and realized that other emerging writers did too. Collaborating with Jaime Borschuk began in the early issues with cover design, layout work, and story submissions. Asking her to come on board in 2016 to co-edit WNHP 13: West Coast was a natural progression. We publish real stories by diverse writers about *all things never meant to be.*
Mission: We publish real stories by diverse writers about *all things never meant to be.*
Kim Cihlar and I lead this monthly, community, low-key opportunity to meditate, write and share in a supportive small group at a yoga studio Illumina East. Saturday June 15 from 3-4:30pm. Free (suggested donation $10). Monthly event. https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/asp/main_enroll.asp?fl=true&tabID=8

Cradling boxes of the new issue in my arms. Happy WNHP 16: food. Ready when you are.
Our upcoming FOOD issue is heading off to print and will be available soon. In the meantime enjoy this great little piece that fits the theme by Michelle Zauner (aka Japanese Breakfast).
Sobbing near the dry goods, I ask myself, “Am I even Korean anymore if there’s no one left in my life to call and ask which brand of seaweed we used to buy?”

I'll be mailing out to Powell's City of Books and Antiquated Future distro in Portland, Quimby's NYC, Wasted Ink in Phoenix, Downtown Books and News in Asheville and more.
