Rewrite The Stars Review's Ninth Magazine Issue! Issue IX: Welcome to Wonderland April 2025 Welcome to Wonderland. For this issue, we asked submitters to explore what Wonderland means to them, figuratively or literally. We asked for stories, poems, essays, artwork, and photography that captured the mayhem, madness, and magic of carnivals. Whether it's the bright lights of the Ferris wheel, the eerie silence of the funhouse, or the strange characters lurking amidst the shadows of the tents, we wanted to see your most imaginative and vivid interpretations. Our contributors evoke the thrill of the ride, help us feel the taste of cotton candy on our tongues, and transport us to a strange, surreal world where reality bends and twists all in its path. Read on to see in their own words what a carnival represents to them.

Issue VI: Dreams of a Caged Bird January 2024 "I know why the caged bird sings." ⸺ Maya Angelou The society we live in is structured in such a way that everybody is chained or caged in some way or the other. Maybe it's a personal restriction, or maybe there are other factors in your community. Maybe you've been chained for a while and it all feels so much and you just want to be free. This issue is for you. In this issue, we asked our singing caged birds to tell us their dreams. We asked them to talk to us about what chained them and what bogged them down. We asked for all those fears and worries, hopes and dreams. We asked them why they sang. We asked them why they dreamt. Issue V was about embracing those childish fantasies and whimsical delusions. Issue VI, we wanted them to embrace those dreams in reality. Find joy in our real world, and find those reasons to live for. Dream big, dream wide, and dream free.

We also reserve the right to later archive a blog post if we feel it does not resonate with the theme of our magazine on a later date. We expect blog posts to be written in a fairly formal tone. Conversationality is fine, but a complete disregard of proper spelling and grammar is not. Topics for blog posts are expected to be interesting and unusual, and entice readers.

This rule will go in place from today, i.e. if you submitted to issue 7 you can still submit to issue 8. This does not apply to features or mini issues, and you can submit to how many ever of those that you please. When we first started our magazine, we didn't have a lot of submitters so we wanted to encourage whoever wanted to to submit. However, now we believe we have a decent enough reach not to worry about reaching an adequate number of submissions, and thus we want to promote more writers instead of the same writers again. Don't get us wrong - we absolutely love recurring contributors! However, we'd like to give new people discovering us more of a chance too :) If you submit a piece that does not adhere to the submission guidelines, your piece will not be read, your submission will be automatically rejected, and you will be issued a warning. In the past we have been a bit more lenient with submissions that didn't meet the requirements, however it becomes extremely hard for our editors to keep track. Please read all the guidelines on our website thoroughly including the number of pieces you are allowed to submit and the instructions on how to title your document. Any piece that doesn't meet the guidelines will be put on a warning list, and if any single person gets three warnings they will be blacklisted from submitting to RTS. This also applies for people submitting our application form to closed positions (if a position is closed, it will be indicated on the application form itself). 14 e only exceptions to this rule we will accept are with respect to word/line counts, and that is only for marginal differences (<100 words). If your piece exceeds the maximum word count, please DM our Instagram or email to make sure it's okay. Only after receiving our confirmation that it's okay to submit can you submit this piece without receiving a warning. Interested? Submit now! Blog submissions are open year-round.

Meet the team behind the making of Rewrite The Stars. Meet The Team Every successful organisation has a number of people working hard behind it.

As someone who has submitted to a lot of literary magazines and has faced her fair share of acceptances and rejections, she hopes this initiative will be a new start and a turning point for aspiring writers. She believes anything and everything has a story, and she's dedicated her life to uncovering the unwritten stories of the world. This fall, she'll be joining college where she hopes to pursue Journalism and Data Science. When she's not writing maniacally, you can find her playing the piano or reading with a steaming cup of hot chocolate in hand :) Head of Staff Varshha (she/her) Varshha is a 17 year old human from Chennai, India, who procrastinates by staring at the stars on the terrace and reading romance books. Loving all things dystopian, she is an artist and a writer who can never seem to write/draw for the genre. If she’s not reading random facts on the internet or watching the ISU championships, she is probably imagining her living in a dystopian future. Head of Content Madhusree Guha Madhusree (she/her) is a 16-year-old junior who is a fresh and passionate writer, with a unique style that combines the intensity of a summer evening with a dash of spring.

Head of Content Jeannie Lam (she/her) Jeannie started writing in 24-sized neon pink font but now writes historical fantasy and constantly thinks about literary devices. If she's not admiring her collection of special edition books, she's writing or stressing about her Christian literary magazine, Waves of Words. Editor Briar (she/her) Briar has been writing poetry since highschool and is based in Australia. She has completed a Diploma of Arts. She enjoys many forms of storytelling including film and games. Graphic Designer Jann Rose (she/her) She is your real life Rapunzel, getting out of her tower, trying to understand humans and their way of communication.

Content Writer Jason Wu (he/him) Jason Wu (age 17) is an ardent reader, writer, and content creator. He has a plethora of experience in writing action, romantic comedy, and transmigration stories.

Some of his favorite dolls are Alisa, Akaset, and Minerdwen. Editor Ava (she/her) Ava Hubbart is a 19 year old English Major at the University of Georgia.

Content Writer Carina (she/her) Carina is a 13-year-old non-fiction writer from the United States. Her love for educating others through non-fiction writing began when she would write research essays for school in third-fourth grade.

Some of Carina’s favorite things are horror/mystery films and movies, learning about history, and studying psychology. Content Writer Milica (she/her) Milica is a freshman in high school with a passion for reading and writing. She enjoys spending her evenings sipping a peach iced tea and typing away at her laptop screen (sometimes even staring at a blank page). Ever since she was 9 years old, Milica’s been fighting her writer’s block while consuming books at a dangerous rate of about 50 per year. Mysteries and thrillers are her guilty pleasure and as much as she reads them she also writes them.

Learn more about our magazine, Rewrite The Stars. About Us Welcome to Rewrite The Stars! Run by teens for teens, we are a literary magazine aimed at uplifting youth and marginalized creators. We believe that artists have the power to change the world and rewrite the stars, if you may. There are many young teen writers out there with beautiful words who dream of being published but unfortunately don't get the right platform to. The formal publishing world is looking for the kind of writing that doesn't come naturally to teenagers, because we are kids and can't be expected to know everything about the world. There seems to be no platform for teenagers to write about issues and things they care about, or include humor and sarcasm in their stories when all anyone ever wants is emotionally resonant prose and poetry that makes you cry. Don't get us wrong - we love crying - but we want to celebrate optimistic and heartwarming writing too! Where do you go if you want to relax and read work that makes you smile? Enter Rewrite The Stars Review. At RTS, we will treasure EVERY piece sent to us, by publishing it in our magazine or giving you detailed feedback and resources that helps you improve. Trust us with your submissions <3 Moreover, we hope this becomes a space where readers and writers can come together and spread joy of the craft. Whether through our issues or blog posts or features, we want to celebrate creativity. We believe that everyone can reach the audience they deserve. All we ask for is your support. Help spread the word about our magazine, send us your pieces, and engage in our activities. We look forward to reading all your wonderful pieces!!!
