Hypertext Review — Karen Halvorsen Schreck

Hypertext Magazine & Studio is a social justice writing nonprofit with a mission of serving divested Chicago-area adults using storytelling techniques to give them a voice and publishing to give their words a visible home.

Congratulations to Hypertext Review's First Annual Short Story & Essay Contest winners and finalists judged by Christine Sneed (fiction) and Juan Martinez (essay). Huge thanks to Christine and Juan for donating their time and expertise to further Hypertext Magazine & Studio's mission of empowering divested Chicago-area adults using storytelling techniques to give citizens a voice and publishing to give their words a visible home.

And believe it or not, Hypertext Magazine online has been publishing fiction, essays, poetry, and visual art for ten years. That's a pretty big milestone for any literary magazine. Here's to ten (or 20) more. Cheers!

More recently, our umbrella organization--the social justice writing workshop nonprofit Hypertext Magazine & Studio (HMS)--will publish our first social justice writing workshop anthology. This will be published in Fall 2019--so look for it, buy it, give it as a gift. You get the gist.

By supporting HMS online and buying our literary and social justice journals, you will help us bring writing workshops to Chicago-area individuals--citizens who were formerly incarcerated and those impacted by homelessness, poverty, and substance use disorders. As of HMS's founding in late 2017, our mission has reached over 600 individuals.
