Shelf is a literary magazine made by Ella Rosenblatt and Jane Freiman. It’s a collaboration across a long distance (previously LA to Boston, presently Houston to Baltimore). We like to think of this mag as a little shelf of nice things. The goal is simply to share and circulate writing we like. Thank you for reading!
