“I received my online copy, read it all, and enjoyed it very much. My favorites were Valley of the Shadow and Sour Hands, but I liked them all; and I really liked the illustrations. GOOD JOB!!! Off to a great start!”
–JoAnn
“With great pleasure, we received our copy of the premier issue of Shimmer today. I curled up and read it from cover to cover. Gobble, gobble, gobble. And a yummy literary snack it was. First, I have to compliment you on an aesthetically delightful production. Lovely to look at, a pleasure to hold in the hand. Apparently, I’m not the first to have thought it attractive either as, at some point in its postal travels, someone had torn open the seals to peek inside. I think that’s some kind of unique compliment – a purloined postal peep! Sour Hands was my favorite, hands down. Valley of the Shadow is also a lovely, writerly tale. It’s a grand start!”
–Sarah
“I’ve finished reading your lovely first issue. My favorite stories are Sour Hands, Valley of the Shadow and The Interrupted Nap. This has been a treat, so I will subscribe for four more. ”

“Your print version is amazing! A very well-turned out mag, got a few people here interested, let’s see if I can make them buy a few copies They really liked the art work and the overall feel of the magazine was very reader-friendly and attractive. Great job guys, here’s to a shimmering future.”

“The story about the skin [Nobody’s Fool] was good, but it grossed me out and I had to stop reading it. *shivers* A Convocation of Clowns was nicely done. Ooh, but it looks lovely your magazine does.”
–Sue
“The stories are wonderful and strong, and the layout is lovely. Fits perfectly into a handbag. And it’s clear that a lot of hard work and love was put into making Shimmer. I know, because I haven’t seen my husband in months.”
–Sam
“It’s a great mag off to a great start. I look forward to seeing the next issue.”
–Joe
“You started a magazine? What’d you do that for?”
