Dear readers and writers,

This September, we have chosen a writer whose work we will showcase on our front page and in this newsletter as our top writer for September 2026.

So, our next top writer is…

NRWillick

We chose him for his expressive short fiction and poetic poems that are always mysterious and interesting to read or listen to once they are published in The Lark.

NR’s fiction will pull you in and impress you, especially when you hear it read aloud.

Here are his top stories and poems published with us so far. Please feel free to read any of them or all of them.
