A 10-year-old innovative magazine with a big literary presence and highly reputed contests, Literal Latte used to be a newsprint publication available for free in every independent coffeehouse in NYC. Now it has moved to completely on-line, complemented with annual print anthologies. With Starbucks taking over everywhere and the consequent disappearance of independent coffee houses, such a move is welcome. I heard rumors that the new face of Literal Latte's website will be exciting, and I look forward to seeing it.

"The Camphor Suitcase" Second in Essay Contest
My personal essay, "The Camphor Suitcase," won second prize in Literal Latte's Essay Awards. The top three winners will receive $1000, $300, and $200 respectively, and be published on-line when Literal Latte finishes redesigning its website in a few weeks.

Congratulation, Xujun.
Thank you, Lance and Chancelucky!
It took a little longer than we anticipated, Xujun, but the new Literal Latte site is up, and your great story is in our first (new) issue:
Here's the direct link: The Camphor Suitcase.
Best, Tyler
Thanks for letting me know, Tyler! The new site shines! Well done.
