About
ZYZZYVA successfully executed its primary project of publishing the tri-quarterly print journal. In keeping with our mission since inception, our goal was to continue publishing the journal and to continue our support for writers and artists. To that end, we published three exemplary issues of the journal in 2019, featuring new works by 56 writers and substantial portfolios by 3 visual artists, in beautifully produced and carefully edited volumes which were distributed to bookstores and newsstands nationwide. We hosted or participated in 24 events to bring publicity, attention and a live audience to our authors. We continue to offer emerging talents a valuable, nationally-distributed platform (featuring fiction by 26 emerging writers in the journal over the course of the year) while also offering substantial support (through publicity, in print and online; through events; and through sustaining our increased author payments) for all our authors, emerging and established alike.
