In January of 2023, WELL READ Magazine began accepting submissions for prose, poetry, and visual art. I was blown away by all of the talented poets, authors, and artists that first year. I can’t explain the thrill I felt sharing them with readers every month through the online journal, and the excitement of opening up another new submission.

That feeling is still strong today and I’m just as excited to share the submissions from 2024 with you. They are too good not to share again – in print – to give readers another chance to find them. There are no prompts or themes for the submissions so I never know what I’m getting into until I dive in. Every submission is a surprise and each one hits you in a different way. I love that rollercoaster ride feeling with each new entry, so I’ve broken the traditional rules for publishing collections and kept the anthologies in the same format as what you find in WELL READ Magazine. You never know what’s coming next so get ready for a fun ride!

In the Best of 2024 Volume Two, you’ll find fifty-two submissions written by a fantastic mix of award-winning authors and poets plus new ones to the scene. Three submissions in this volume were nominated for a Pushcart Prize: Hanging Pictures by Micah Ward, The Lone and Level Sands by James Wade, and American Chestnut by Candace Connor. The cover art is by artist, Lindsay Carraway, who had several pieces published in February of 2023.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
