Hubbie's Review
An excellent publication for local and aspiring authors to illustrate their prose and writings.
The illustrations that accompany the short stories are first class. The layout and variety of stories
are paramount to the magazine’s success.
I wish I had a similar publication in my own town so I could submit my ideas too .Well done for seizing the initative.
