Note from the EIC
To all of our faithful readers and contributing artists, I am overjoyed to announce that The Argyle will be returning from its extended hiatus and relaunching on June 15th, 2025. We are currently demolishing our Submittable account and plan on bringing you guys an AMAZING Issue #4!.
The Argyle has a new logo, which we have updated on our social media accounts, as well as on our website. We have also recently created a new social media account on Bluesky, which we are having a great time developing, so please take a moment and take a look and give us a follow! As always, we still maintain a presence on X, Instagram, Threads, and Facebook; we will be ramping up our presence on all accounts, re-sharing much of the amazing work we have published, as well as providing updates on our progress for the relaunch.
Getting back to what we think is the best lit mag EVER has seemed like a dream for so long, words escape me now in expressing the gratitude I feel for not only this second chance but for the support of our readers and contributors alike. Many thanks, ya’ll.
Sincerely,
David Estringel
