Dear Reader,
We are in the last month of 2017 and we couldn’t think of a more apt theme than “Flashback” to end this year! The December 2017 issue celebrates the past as our contributors grow nostalgic and share memories through fiction, non-fiction and poetry. We hope that this short and sweet issue will send you too on a trip down memory lane.
Let us take you on a journey of fiction this month! Our ‘Fiction Fest’ issue packs in stories of many kinds that are sure to leave you entertained. Read on for stories that involve people of different ages, are set in different times, and invoke a variety of emotions.
Choices, choices, choices! All our lives, day in, day out, we live through by making choices. Choices that help us survive, give us happiness, move us ahead, spread love, and more. Choices that sometimes trouble us, boggle us. This issue of Spark is all about choices! You’ll be spoilt for choice with our variety of stories, poetry and non-fiction, all centred on choice.
The September 2017 issue of Spark celebrates variety – in ideas, in writing styles, through an exciting collection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and photography. Dear Reader, we are pleased to present this selection under the title “Kaleidoscope” – the coming together of diverse creative ideas. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we did in putting it together!
This month at Spark, we celebrate ‘Celebrations’! Our selection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry in this August 2017 issue touches upon festivals, birthdays, weddings, and eventually life itself as the biggest and grandest celebration of all! We hope you like what we have in store for you this month and look forward to your feedback. Do email us at feedback@sparkthemagazine.com!
We asked our contributors the question, “What ideas or thoughts does the word NIGHT invoke in you?” The answers came to us in the form of poems, stories and art – which is the line-up we have for you in this issue! In a way, this has turned out to be a poetry special with the poems focusing on such diverse and interesting aspects of ‘Night’. Do check out the issue and let us know how you liked it!
What a wonderful experience it has been putting together this issue which focuses on the delightful theme of Fabric!
