From the Editor:
Welcome to Spilling Ink Review: Issue 4.
Before you start flipping through our cyber pages I just want to take a moment and thank our talented contributors. As an editor, I find myself in the enviable position of being in regular communication with artists and writers from around the world. I feel a great sense of satisfaction when Spilling Ink is able to provide a home for an excellent piece of prose because, as a writer myself, I know that a submission cannot be reduced to a series of finger-clicks across a keyboard; cannot be reduced to paper, clips, staples. A submission is not merely words on a page. Behind each submission is a writer, hoping to find somebody, somewhere who gets it; who appreciates their time, talent, artistry and craftsmanship. With that in mind, we’re pleased to present the latest issue of SIR. Enjoy!
Kind regards,
Amy Burns, Editor

I thought “Windswept” gave an amusing, lively and at times painful description of family tensions and the difficulty of balancing legitimate, but conflicting needs. I also thought it contained some profound insights e.g. ” How to balance one daughter’s needs against the other’s.”
I thought “Windswept”gave an amusing, lively and at times painful description of family tensions on a seaside holiday. It described the difficulty of meeting the legitimate, but opposing needs of different members of a family e.g. “How to balance one daughter’s needs against another’s”.

Beautiful! Although publication is designed to present a writer, the work of publication being a background process, we sometimes overlook the editors et al.
This quote is an example of one reason to appreciate all you guys do. Thanks for your passion and your efforts!
