If you've looked us up online recently, you will have noticed that we have completely redesigned our website. Our old site was static. It rarely changed from month to month. Now we do regular updates that include announcements about new issue releases, samples of artwork and sample poems from issues of Third Wednesday that anyone can read for FREE. It's another way of exposing the world to some of the great work that gets published in TW.

Augmenting our web presence is a new Facebook page that puts those announcements and many of those free samples in your Facebook news feed. We hope everyone who reads or contributes to Third Wednesday will include us in their cyber-life by clicking the "Like" button on our new Facebook page.
