This year TSB celebrates with a brand new website in its new location.

January 20^th marks the fourth year in existence for The Stray Branch which began as an on-line only publication begging for submissions then quickly grew, adventuring into the world of print and now temporarily having to turn submissions away due to its heavy backlog.  It’s hard to believe, four years and 8 issues into this thing. Who knew? It’s certainly been a learning experience and a lot of hard work. But despite the growing pains and minor bumps in the road it’s been a great four years as I’ve had the good fortune to discover and publish some of the most talented poets, writers, artists and photographers around. I’ve also made some wonderful friends along the way. Many thanks to all the contributors and supporters of the magazine as they have helped to shape and make it what it is today, something to proud of. I’m grateful for all the support, patience and encouragement from readers, contributors and friends. Thank you!
