Best of 2025: Standout Community Submissions

Dec 10

2025 was our first official year as an organization and we couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. Our first zine “Vol 1: Family Spraycation” received hundreds of submissions and we were able to get issues out to more than 27 states and 3 countries. For our very first run, we couldn’t be more proud.

With Vol 2 “Deck The Walls” on the horizon, we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of our favorites from this years submissions.

In addition to the community content, we interviewed 12 different writers and shared their stories with all of you. We look forward to continuing to give flowers to your favorites in this next year and aiming to improve our content and the way you all consume it. we have recently opened our studio in Downtown Raleigh, NC and this will serve as homebase for producing our zine, distributing orders, creating merch and art, hosting group blackbook sessions and classes for aspiring mural artists and will be a proud distributer of LOOP brand spray paint.

We are tired of opportunists taking up our space and this is our move to take that power back.

A writer forward organization for writers and artists alike.

Without further ado, We present the best of 2025.
