Dear Writers, 

A letter doesn't always need an address.

For the third issue of Ditch Life Magazine, I’d like for you to think about the many ways we put love into words (and the many ways we don’t). I’m interested in love in all its forms: romantic, lost, found familial, and platonic, and the fleeting, enduring, complicated feelings that accompany it

Maybe your piece is a letter, or a story that unfolds through one. Maybe it’s a poem about someone you could never bring yourself to write to, or a reflection of a person who changed you. Write to a person, a place, a memory, a past or future self, a stranger, or something you can't quite name.

There are no rules for what a letter has to look like, or who it has to be for. Interpret the theme however you want. It doesn't have to be a letter; it just has to be yours.

So, what have you been meaning to get off your chest?

Write to us! 

Sincerely,

The Ditch Life Team

Ditch Life Magazine
