Message from the Dandelion Revolution Press Team:
We launched Dandelion Revolution Press (DRP) in 2020 and published three anthologies of short fiction within three years. We had a wonderful time discovering the publishing process, especially championing stories that featured memorable, dynamic female characters.
2024 marks a change for DRP. We’ve expanded our editorial team so we can produce two online collections of creative works each year. We remain committed to our mission of sharing female-forward stories with the world. Now, we’ve diversified the type of pieces we publish — short fiction and creative nonfiction.
Our own changes have led us to choose the appropriate theme “Transitions” for our inaugural online issue. We selected pieces from global contributors that have interpreted the theme in different styles, genres, and voices. For our creative nonfiction, these are insightful stories centered around real-life experiences. We will always publish stories with complex female characters and narrators, providing you, the reader, with stories that are soulful, humorous, powerful, and unforgettable.
For this Spring 2024 issue, we’ve dipped a toe into the sea of poetry in honor of National Poetry Month in April. The poems included capture the theme of transition through snapshots of growth in nature, culture, and fantasy. We're also proud to introduce this issue’s featured artist, Niki McQueen, whose work resonated so well with the spirit of our stories. She creates captivating visual narratives, blending the human experience with dashes of surrealism. We selected compositions with female figures at the center that are evocative and ethereal, austere and whimsical at the same time.
We hope you enjoy this collection. And we would love to hear how this journal found its way to you!
