And so we begin.

Back in 2018, I was the editor of a successful literary magazine. We weren’t large and we weren’t fancy, but I loved the interactions with writers, staff, and words. The publisher had their hands full with other projects, and the magazine was put on hiatus. I knew it was the end, but when I was offered the chance to take over the existing IP, life’s circumstances were busy having their way with me. Between grief and loss and chaos, it simply wasn’t time.

Does It Have Pockets has been an idea for a long while. And with its inception, I want to welcome literary misfits. And by that I probably mean most of us. Who hasn’t had at least one story that didn’t fit anywhere?

Welcome. Thanks for taking this journey with us.
