The relationship between life, society, and the art of storytelling is one so intimately intertwined that it would be nearly impossible to discuss one without considering the others. While this issue of For Page & Screen Magazine is presented without a pre-determined theme, we feel that these stories collectively embody the interconnectedness of life and storytelling.
Whether it’s by exploring the awkwardness of new relationships or mourning those that are no more, criticizing society or realizing our complacency in it, or understanding trauma and embarking on a journey to heal from it, these stories capture the messy, terrible, and beautiful nature of life. We hope they’ll find their way into your heart, too.
With Love,
