The Mythic Circle: History
Founded in 1987 by Sherwood Smith and Lynn Maudlin, The Mythic Circle started as a quarterly ’zine designed to function as a writers’ workshop in print and featured a very active letters column. After several years the enthusiastic submissions of aspiring writers and the challenge of publishing on a quarterly schedule took their toll, and the ’zine finally became an annual publication. Gwenyth E. Hood edited The Mythic Circle for many years, up through 2019. In 2020, Victoria Gaydosik took over as editor, recruiting Nolan Meditz to be poetry editor.
