We have one more sweet surprise coming up at the end of the month, and we're excited for our Talers to find out.

Dear Reader,

It's hard to believe, but we only moved out of the sandbox provided by Litmosphere (thanks Rubaiya and Ramisa Chowdhury) two years ago, and shifted Sehri Tales © to an independent platform in 2020! We hope you've been enjoying the stories so far.

Last year, we were able to introduce sponsored posts as a way of thanking all the wonderful Talers who joined our cozy little community. Shoutout to Potetu Cooking and Vlogs and Ms Katachamoch for the cookies and discounts. This year, we were blessed by the incredible generosity of Bookworm Bangladesh who provided three fantastic novels for our top three entries for the Genie prompt, and Zest Candle and Co for providing beautiful candles for our Mars prompt. We have one more sweet surprise coming up at the end of the month, and we're excited for our Talers to find out.

We have something for you too, dear Reader. Partnering up with DIYer, we've just launched the Sehri Tales handbook, a writing therapy journal. It comes in three attractive designs, complete with notes on short fiction forms and how to write them, and a separate sheet of prompts to springboard your creativity. It's the perfect way to while away a traffic jam when you can't look at a screen anymore, and makes a great gift. Find Talespeople or DIYer on Facebook and inbox to order.  We hope you'll love it.

Stay hydrated!
