  Notice to Our Readers:
We are halting publication of the Significato Journal. It's been a lovely experience, but we have found that with limited time, we need to focus our efforts in new directions (which include book publishing).
We have started to move content to our personal websites
(https://peterfalkenbergbrown.com
and https://kimmysophiabrown.com (Kim's website is not ready yet)). When that process is completed, we'll send out a final email to our SJ subscribers and invite you all to subscribe to our individual subscription lists.
We'll post links to our other writers too, so that you can find their work.
