After experimenting with different ideas for a while, weโ€™ve finally settled on a fitting tagline for The Hooletโ€™s Nook. Sometimes the simplest words say it best:

โ€œA journal for tiny things.โ€ ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ

Quick question for readers of online literary journals: when browsing a table of contents or author index and you click on a poem or story, do you prefer it to open in a new tab so the original page stays open, or would you rather it open in the same tab? Curious what you prefer! Thanks!

Always a pleasure to feature your work, Lori! ๐Ÿฆ‰๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒธ
