It’s coming up on 2 years since I revived Dishsoap and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that’s believed in it. I am dumbfounded every single day by the amount of love shown to this silly little mag and it’s a joy to work with such wonderful writers and a great team :)

I feel awkward resubmitting over and over to mags that keep rejecting me, but when I've got my editor hat on, I absolutely love it. Most of the pieces we publish aren't first attempts. It's so wonderful-- warming to a writer's style as they figure out what works best for us.
