Default The Raintown Review is kaput

Since the pandemic, I had hoped to get it back on-track, but the infrastructure, particularly the financial infrastructure, simply isn’t there.

I had hoped to turn it around. It is simply not realistic.

Sorry.

I suspected something along these lines, but it's good to have an official update. Your commitment to this fine journal was evident and much appreciated.

Sad news. It seems to have been silent for some years now. Has a similar fate befallen "Better than Starbucks"?

It's on (permanent?) hiatus with a side of "please don't bother us":

November 2022 will be our 47th issue as Better Than Starbucks Poetry & Fiction Journal. After this issue is published the journal will be on hiatus. Better Than Starbucks Publications will continue to operate.

If you have an outstanding submission to us you can withdraw it or leave it open until you hear from us in 2023. We will eventually respond to every submission as always. You are also welcome to query, but please do not ask about future publishing plans for the journal as these are currently undecided.
