Better Than Starbucks Poetry & Fiction Journal
BTS Journal started its journey online with the publication of our first issue in May 2016 as a monthly periodical until July 2018, then transitioned to bi-monthly.
​
The BTS Journal evolved with each passing month and quarter and became more refined, more cohesive, and more widely loved and read.
Since January of 2018 we have produced a print edition that comes in two styles: trade and premium, and two digital formats: PDF and eBook versions.
In 2021 BTS Journal became a quarterly publication released on the first day of the months of February, May, August, and November.
​
After the November 2022 issue, the BTS Journal went on hiatus. Work continued in BTS Publications.
​
We have now revived the BTS Journal. The journal will continue to be a quarterly journal with 4 issues per year: Spring (March), Summer (June), Autumn (September), and Winter (December). ​
​
The BTS Journal owes a great debt of gratitude to Editor-in-Chief Vera Ignatowitsch who has been the backbone
​
and driving force of the journal's impact and continuing existence almost since inception. Thank you Vera for your tireless work over the years.
Vera will continue as Editor-in-Chief guiding us through our revival of the BTS Journal.
