We were asked to share what inspired our stories and poems. Please read my note, then check out the entire Winter 2026 issue of the Fairy Tale Magazine to read others’ excellent and heartfelt transformations!
~~From the Fairy Tale Magazine~~
In sharing about her cozy and heartening story “Minerva at the Yarn Shop” Liz Husebye Hartmann says this: “There’s power in community, whether it be fae or human or a little bit of both. I wrote the first draft in Winter, in the post-pandemic years. People stepped up, yarn-bombing, hiding painted rocks, feeding folks (like you do). An online writing group posed a prompt: Write a story where a God shows up. Where else but within a gathering of creative makers, sharing ideas, feeding each other with food and culture and a few risqué jokes? (Cackle)”
We’re so thrilled to publish this story in Ravenous: Food in Fairy Tale.
