#CleanWIP "Just thinking I should've suspected something. Margie donned her Sunday dress before asking Mama for the grocery list. Then she hitched up the wagon and took off. Two hours later, Mama sent me looking for her. I found the horse and wagon parked in front of the depot."

CleanWIP Magazine has something special to share. Our Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) information package arrived in the mail yesterday. Our name is confirmed: CLEANWIP MAGAZINE LLC. We filed the necessary forms online and it was impossible to convey the importance of mixed capitalization in our name. Mail carriers will surely wonder if somebody accidentally excluded a vowel and it should be CLEANWIPE. We hope they will consider whether there is any real need for a magazine about clean wipes though. Perhaps we can enlist your help teaching everyone WIP means work-in-progress or, in plural form, works-in-progress and that CleanWIP Magazine is focused on those WIP that lean clean. Thanks in advance. ~ CleanWIP Magazine

Ellie giggled, chewed her bottom lip, and turned red. “I’m not blind, you know.”

June tilted her head to the side and smiled. “To be honest, neither am I. Julio is a treat for the eyes. And that accent! He’s like something out of a telenovela.” **Accidentally Yours #CleanWIP

“Life is beautiful. Except for the spider I almost drank. That wasn’t beautiful. It probably didn’t think I was beautiful either, as I almost swallowed it whole, but then it shouldn’t have been sitting in my water cup.” – Letter from Vasilisa, #cleanWIP

We love this wonderful moment so much! It’s incredible to see the value of good company and music with family for someone who has dementia 💙 pic.twitter.com/BgOfThNaAN

The CleanWIP Experience

We work closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, and songwriters in our CleanWIP Facebook group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag game to bring readers interesting sneak peeks into their works-in-progress plus full-featured articles, personal reflections on the thoughts and struggles from a rough draft to a published work, and special collaborations on various topics.

We encourage authors to use the #CleanWIP hashtag to share sneak peeks related to the day’s theme from unpublished works. This helps us provide content our readers love and expect. For the same reason, we also encourage use of the hashtag for a single relevant release day announcement. On Fridays, we relax the structure even further and encourage using #CleanWIP to share relevant news, interesting teases from a work-in-progress or published work (purchase links encouraged on Fridays), or something else our readers might love. Actual use of the hashtag is not within our control and even on this site we will sometimes share #CleanWIP content that doesn’t strictly meet these guidelines.
