A Note from Culterate’s Editor-in-Chief
Childhood. Biggest heartbreak. Medea and Jason. Did Khufu build the Great Pyramid?
In this issue, we took a different approach by not being confined to a single theme. Anything that calls to you, write it and share it. These authors have done so brilliantly, as you will soon see within these pages. Reviewing one piece after another, we were on a constant qui vive: will it be tears of laughter or grief this time? But that’s what’s so thrilling. It’s not just about what is told, but how it’s told. One may deeply resonate with you and another simply doesn’t. But we promise you an adventure, new perspectives, and a stack of reads to keep you warm this winter.
At the end of each piece, you’ll find a short biography — a glimpse into the authors, their writing journeys, and ways to connect with them. We encourage you to support their work and projects beyond these pages.
Lastly, I want to express my utmost gratitude to all the contributors and editors who made this issue happen. Truly, the work is all yours. I’m honored to be trusted with your stories and to share them with the world.
And thank you for opening this. You’re just one flip away from the real deal. So sit back, savor the words, and enjoy the art. Linger a little longer on the ones that call out to you.
– K. Cleine
