TheFLR’s editorial board has already selected the authors and poet who will delight the pages of the first edition of the publication, but we’re still missing a key component. The illustrator of TheFLR will be a central character, an author in his or her own right, whose pen or pencil will etch the diverse stories of the magazine according to his or her personal style and own take on the theme of Invasion/Flood.
A faux cover of TheFLR, The Florentine Literary Review, launching October 2016… If YOU want to!
