Issue 21

The Webzine of Personal Stories…


Jonathan Kravetz — Note from the Editor

Ducts.org has just spent a lovely week in Brighton, England, taking in the sights, seeing plays and eating Blood Sausage and now we’re pleased as punch that vacation is over so we can again bring you the best writing on the internet.  Believe it or not (we prefer not to), Ducts is creaking its way toward its ten-year anniversary.  This time next year will mark ten amazing years bringing you fantastic personals essays, fiction, humor, art and all else.  Don’t let anyone tell you that there isn’t room on the web for good writing.
