Since Revolt Magazine launched its literary arts website, we have received hundreds of submissions from writers and artists from the Philippines, Thailand, Europe, Canada, UK, and Africa. For the month of August alone, over 90 literary works, including essays, short stories, fiction, photography, and commentaries have been released.
August is also National Literature Month in the Philippines. With this, we would like to highlight a sampling of the best works from our August contributors, for everyone’s perusal.
