Delphine is a middle-aged writer, teacher, mother, nature & music lover, foodie, dreamer. She has a weird sense of humour, loves butter, needs coffee, hates easy opening packaging, and likes to create stories in her head. Originally from Brittany (Breizh), she grew up in Annecy (France), before moving to Aberystwyth (Cymru) to further her studies, and Manchester (UK) to work. She now lives in Athens (Greece) with her husband, two sons, the ghosts of her old dog and crazy cat, and too many plants & books. After a seventeen-year hiatus, she returned to writing in 2022 and founded Raw Lit Mag in 2023. She is a Puschcart Prize 2024 nominee. You can read her publications on her site. She's currently writing flash as a way to avoid restructuring her debut historical novel Laundry Day, a Runner-up at the Irish Novel Fair 2024. She enjoys writing that is emotional, vivid, honest. The following stories touched her deeply.

Issue 5 - Guest Editor: Marie-Louise McGuinnessMarie-Louise McGuinness lives in rural Ireland with her wonderfully neurodiverse family and Luna, a Golden Retriever with a penchant for stolen shoes. She writes from a sensory perspective and has been published in numerous literary magazines including The Forge, Flash Frog, Milk Candy Review, Gone Lawn, Bending Genres, Raw Lit and BULL. She has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize for her personal essay 'Lives of Dust and Ashes' published in The Metaworker Literary Magazine and dreams of the day she will have enough focus to sit down and write the darn novel.

Melissa Flores Anderson's 'By the Numbers' from Issue one, Holly Harrison Cline's 'The Scar' from Issue 2, DLC Hanson's 'Unfuck Yourself' from Issue 3 are prime examples of work that embodies the meaning of 'Raw' - work that is real, honest and soul-grabbing, words you can connect to, even when they describe an experience that is not your own. |
