By

Leigh Anne Couch

In this message, SWING Magazine Editor Leigh Anne Couch reflects on why she started writing, what keeps her writing, and a year in which SWING continued building community by publishing 80 writers, distributing 340 copies, and so much more.


To keep SWING in print and truly human, we need your generosity and support.

To support SWING, we invite you to donate to our end-of-year campaign.
