NEWSLETTER - April 2026

See who our top writer is for April.

Dear Readers & Writers,

April arrives with a quiet confidence — the kind that lingers in the soft bloom of spring and the promise of fresh words waiting to be written. This month marks a renewal of a better way to celebrate: honoring a writer whose voice continues to resonate deeply within our community and one who has a winning hand in writing poetry.

So, we are delighted to announce and showcase the next Top Writer as:

Mark Tulin

The Lark Publication’s Top Writer, whose writing we will showcase this month of April 2026.

Mark Tulin is a writer whose work carries both heart and reflection — stories and pieces that feel lived-in, thoughtful, and quietly powerful. His writing often explores the human experience with honesty and warmth, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and connect. Whether through narrative or introspective prose, he draws us into moments that feel both personal and universal.

Throughout his contributions to The Lark Publication, Mark Tulin has shown a consistent dedication to craft. His voice is steady yet evocative, offering readers not just stories, but experiences — glimpses into memory, emotion, and meaning. It is this authenticity and commitment that have made his work stand out among our talented community of writers.

We celebrate Mark not only for his writing but also for winning The Lark’s February 2026 Prose Poem Competition, showcasing his prose poem, The Songs of Santa Paula, which embodies the presence he brings to The Lark and reminds us why storytelling matters.

Congratulations — Mark Tulin

We invite you to explore Mark’s work, immerse yourselves in his words, and be inspired by the depth and sincerity he brings to the page.

So, to our wonderful writers — this could be you next month. Keep writing, keep sharing, and keep daring to put your voice into the world. Your words matter more than you know.
