Skylines is an ongoing serial publication from Highwind Press that explores the personal horizons we build through storytelling—our skylines of experience, observation, and craft. This series invites reflections on the art of storytelling, the landscapes of imagination, and the practices that shape our creative journeys.
We welcome diverse forms of original work—poetry, prose, art, photography, and hybrid reflections—that delve into the places, practices, and personal panoramas that inspire your storytelling. Whether contemplative, experimental, or vividly personal, we seek pieces that resonate with the theme of personal horizons and the art of storytelling.
