SAN FRANCISCO - eTradeWire -- A fresh voice in literary publishing is redefining the role of self-care in today's world. Thorn & Bloom, a quarterly literary magazine launched last month, dares to explore self-care not as a luxury or trend, but as a radical and necessary act of personal and collective liberation.

Rooted in a deep commitment to authenticity, Thorn & Bloom offers a vibrant collection of essays, poetry, fiction, and expert insights. With each page, the magazine challenges dominant narratives around wellness, worth, and autonomy, offering instead a space for stories that are mindful, raw, and deeply human.

"This magazine is a love letter to those finding their voice through the messy, beautiful work of healing," says Kirsty Anne Richards, founder and editorial director of Thorn & Bloom. "We believe self-care isn't just about face masks and bubble baths, but rather it's about reclaiming your time, your body, your truth."
