The Monadnock Writers’ Group and especially the Smoky Quartz team would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Karen Drew and Fred Gerhard, who have retired from their positions with our journal.

Karen joined Smoky Quartz in 2024 and served as an editor and submissions manager. Offering her time, her keen eye, and her good humor, Karen helped our team and our contributors in countless ways.

Fred joined Smoky Quartz in 2023 as an editor, sharing his talents, insights, and deep passion for poetry and literature. His careful consideration and appreciation of each submitted piece enriched our discussions.

We are thankful to both Karen and Fred for helping us create such strong issues over these past years and wish them well in all of their future endeavors.
