    Active on social media Promote writers even after publication - hype hype hype "I think hex has done a nice job of curating work that is A) actually weird/strange/surreal AND B) quality in terms of the actual writing. Those two things don't always align in online lit journals. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the writing they've published right out of the gate and I was super excited to place a story with them." "They reached out and requested a brief four-question interview after my story was accepted. I really enjoyed the questions and was honored they wanted to know more about my writing process and my story."
