Hotch Potch Literature and Art
@hotchpotchliterary.bsky.social
We are a collective of writers and artists who create two digital litmags every year. Artists contribute images, writers use the images as prompts, and then our art editor crafts illustrations. We love and actively promote community. We're all volunteers.

Is sewing machine envy even a thing?!? Such a thrill to interview artist extraordinaire Lorraine Roy about her incredible fabric creations that served as writing prompts in this issue of Hotch Potch Literature and Art. One of many examples of the work that's in the issue.

When we read a story, we step into someone else's shoes, live in someone else's world, and make decisions we couldn't fathom in our ordinary lives. No wonder literature is such a powerful antidote to fascism. #hotchpotchliterary #indieauthor #litmags #literarymagazine #shortstory
