About Gently Mad:
"The Gently Mad Magazine is a literary journal that features poetry, short stories, and art for sanity’s sake. We offer publication alongside a creative community that spans across the globe as well as the opportunity to repurpose chaos through art. Our goal is to stand out in the literary world by introducing a Gently Mad persona for each Issue.
Our Story:
Serafina and Julie met at the SUISS Creative Writing summer school orientation at the University of Edinburgh where both were seeking a community of authors to hold them accountable in their goals to preserve the sanctity and sanity of the literary world. When Julie asked Serafina if she'd attend a Hozier and Lord Huron concert with her, they instantly bonded.
One day, following classes, the two retreated into the Meadows to write (and yap). Both realized they had the yearning to create a literary journal. First came the logo; a slightly confused seagull, inspired by the many that swarm Edinburgh. Second, came the name. The Gently Mad Magazine was inspired by a local bookshop in Edinburgh called The Gently Mad Book Shop & Bookbinder. Many other titles were considered, but none seemed to encapsulate the mission of this magazine: to provide a sanctuary of beautiful words that seek to salvage the importance of art for sanity's sake.
Now, although the idea for Gently Mad originated at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, it is run partly in Windsor, Canada and Savannah, Georgia, allowing for a wide audience all over the world. Gently Mad is the perfect place for people who wish to share their art to like-minded individuals across the globe."
