I apologise for the slight lateness to this week’s issue of HotLits, it has been an exceptionally mad weekend! In fact the next few weekends are going to be mad, so HotLits will be moving from a Friday to a Sunday/Monday temporarily!

The sprouting of festive contests in the literature world is something I would describe as a phenomenon. Back in 2006, I barely remember seeing literature contests, but this month there are so many I can’t actually count them on my hands! For all contests and literature news, please check out *litNEWS if you have not already!

Due to my rather busy schedule this week, I only have six HotLits in the bag- however the wander of some of these pieces make up for the small amount, and I hope you agree!

This forth HotLit issue concludes my first entire month of featuring! It’s still toasty and I want the toast to continue into the new year! For those who missed the previous issues- here is a list:

HotLits the First
HotLits the Second
HotLits the Third

(It’s never too late for love!)

And now, here are the features for our forth issue:


Stasis by


Yellow Bird by


Perspective by


Death of Charity by


The Family Business by


Couch Surf Blues by


Feedback

HotLits is currently in the middle of its trial period to see how effective this weekly news article is. If you have any suggestions for improvement or any feedback then please do not hesitate to note me.

I would again like to welcome anyone who wishes to note me with suggestions of literature they have recently fav’d and enjoyed. The only rule is that they need to have been submitted in the last 7-10 days. I will accept self suggestions, but please do not be offended if I do not decide to feature you.

Thank you to everyone who is adding love to this article, and to those who also promote the HotLits in their journals!
