Just read and enjoyed your essay "Secrets" and wondering if you'd be OK with us publishing it in our magazine, PIE & CHAI? I came across your substack after reading something you wrote for Lit Hub--and quoting you in one of my recent pieces in PIE & CHAI: https://pieandchaimagazine.com/deliverance/.
We're a free, online monthly, don't sell ads, don't believe in data grabs, don't pay anything. Here's the link to the homepage with our latest issue: https://pieandchaimagazine.com/. Anyway, we'd love to rerun this piece with your permission, of course, with shout-out and links to your substack and any other relevant web sites or whatever.
P.S. One of my short stories, included in my collection MY CHAOS THEORY, is titled "Kafka's Sister."
All best,
Steve Watkins
