-ette's editors, Beth Hahn and Nora Maynard, met at Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Amy Hempel's workshop. They share a love of gorgeous prose, writing that arcs strange, and small-form work. They bonded over Murakami, cats, and music (Nora plays violin; Beth, guitar).

Beth met Melanie Hoopes when Melanie signed up for Beth's fiction workshop in March of 2020. They met once in-person, right before the pandemic, and then zoomed for two years. That class morphed into a writing group and Beth and Melanie morphed into friends. Pod-ette, -ette's companion podcast, is created and produced by Melanie.

-ette is seasonal, small, and publishes flash fiction, micro, and prose poetry. Future issues of -ette will be themed: cassette, roulette, planchette, lunette, dinette, majorette, with every other issue returning to -ette.

Please sign up for our mailing list at mailinglist@ettereview.com. You can leave the email blank. We will hold on to your information and only contact you about themes, submissions, and new issues.
