Dear PopFic,

In 2025, you accomplished a LOT! On top of working your way through your MFA, you attended and presented at conferences, you made your mark in literary groups and organizations, you entered and won writing contests, and you got published in literary magazines, anthologies, and books. And you all wrote SO much! (Seriously, your combined word count could fill a library!) Brett and I put together this 2025 PopFic Newsletter to commemorate all the accomplishments, camaraderie, and fun that we had this year. Congratulations everyone and happy writing! 🎊👏💜

Sincerely,
Katie and Brett
