Our first issue, Beyond Truth vs. Fiction, was launched at NonfictioNOW 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona. The night included lots of great conversation about the magazine, the concept, and the first issue. It was good to get some of the Advisory Board and Contributing Editors together for a celebratory dinner!
