Last month, we re-visited The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. We were a little (completely) wild about this book circa 2007, but how do we feel now? Does the story read differently at the ages of 26 and 27? What made us love this book so much in the first place? How do you write about sexual abuse, responsibly? Is Charlie actually a little shitty to the women in his life? This + more discussed within.

Monica sits down with her brother, Caleb, a mariner taking a break from writing. They discuss when one does and doesn't describe themselves as a writer, what it means to take a break from one's art, living on boats and going to boarding school.For the full episode, check out our Patreon.

This week, we are joined by Charlotte-based artist Ali Mullins to discuss what, why and how she has found herself producing zines. Excerpts from Ali's first (public) zine are now on the site, www.manquemagazine.com, and full copies are available for print and download via her Gumroad account. While on The Manqué, Ali and Monica lament the creative process: why is it so hard to make art, even when all you want to *do* is make art? How do you decide what your art is worth? What happens when you put it out into the world and attach that art to your identity?

Grab some coffee, because in this episode of The Manqué Monica and Mary discuss one of our favorite things: sleep. Why is it so difficult to be and feel rested, and what can you do to make yourself sleep better?

Mary will be back next week, cheers!Follow us on wwww.manquemagazine.com and everywhere under @manquemagazine. We're always open for submissions.
Distress tolerance, baby! Drink a cold glass of water, remember better days, and learn to articulate your emotions effectively. (Not inflammatorily, like Monica.) This week, Mary gives us a crash course in Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)— a type of therapy that teaches skills to help clients regulate their emotions and cope with stress. This is a bit of a deep dive, so buckle up, splash some water on your face, and get ready to talk about mental health.

Book club time! A few days earlier than usual but, that's okay, the month is all month long. For this month's "That's On My List" pick, we read "Prozac Nation." Join Monica for a dive into some of the highlights, including a discussion about how we treat the adolescent emotional experience, misunderstanding book titles, and how we write stories that resonate with people decades after the fact. As always, follow us across social under @manquemagazine, and visit our site: www.manquemagazine.com. Happy reading!
Disney adults, "Friends," capitalism and No One Being Chill are among the topics discussed in this week's episode of The Manqué. That's to say that Monica and Mary are here to discuss nostalgia. Why do we love it? Who is selling it to us and how is it low-key ruining your life? These are some of the questions we seek to answer as we document the way that missing and revering the past has permeated so much of our current cultural moment.Follow us on wwww.manquemagazine.com and everywhere under @manquemagazine. We're always open for submissions.
Book Club! For our first-ever Manqué book club choice, we read "City of Girls" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Monica takes issue with character development but loves a good dressing down. Lots of spoilers ahead! 
Winter blues, baby! Monica and Mary try to figure out why Monica is so sad in the winter. While Mary has some helpful tips, Monica does not. Rock-climbing-induced panic attacks, Tilly's background howling, and summertime mania all make an appearance. We also discuss some of your tips for cheering up between January and April.Follow us everywhere: @manquemagazinewwww.manquemagazine.comWe are always open for submissions.
In this episode, Monica talks about "Little Women" through the years, and how the story reads differently as an adult. She also pays homage to Katharine Hepburn's mid-Atlantic accent and Disney Channel original movie "Horse Sense."
CW: eating disorders, calories & weight In this episode, Monica and Mary do a deep dive into what it means to have a healthy relationship with your body. What is healthy eating? Why do we know so many things about our mental and physical health that we can't seem to internalize? On the eve of 2020, they consider the many lies they've told themselves about the sizes they should or shouldn't be, lament the lie that is fat-free yogurt, and ensure that they will never have a sponsorship from one fast-casual chain restaurant. Looking for a new year's resolution? We've got a few for you packed up nicely in this end of year episode. Cheers!
Welcome to the first Monica-only episode. Fear not — Mary is back next week! In this episode, Monica introduces the new episode format style, explains why and how we are starting a book club, and takes a deep dive into a favorite family recipe. 
Monica and Mary discuss Instagram aesthetics. Love them? Hate them? Are they bleeding into your real life, like they are for Mary? We also touch on the golden age of blogging, ask ourselves who hot girl summer is really for, respond to Jia Tolentino's "Instagram Face" reporting in The New Yorker, and take a left-turn into Caroline Calloway's posting habits. We also tease a new book club and podcast expansions. Check out Manqué Magazine: www.manquemagazine.comFollow us on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/manquemagazineTwitter: www.twitter.com/manquemagazineAnd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/manquemagazine/
Brrr, it's chilly out — and that makes us think about the holidays, which makes us think about spending time with our families. And that, in turn, makes us think about who are families even are. In this episode of The Manqué, Monica and Mary talk about times in their lives when their families were not necessarily their parents or siblings. And they even, maybe, have a breakthrough about how to deal with family trauma.
