"This is a story about relationships, between father and son, friends, and most importantly between two newly formed couples. Following the lives and thoughts of four people in their mid-twenties, already experienced in dating but starting wonder if that one one person is out there. Taking a look inside the thoughts and conversations on both sides of the fragile world romance and pain, friendship and fear, and life in New York, Most Likely ... is filled with culture, laughter, quasi-advice, and the idea of wanting everything but knowing nothing. As the characters seek advance, theior confusion mounts, emotions break down and get rebuilt, and the reader is left to wonder if men and women will ever really learn how to love."

ACM has released its 50th issue, an issue dedicated to our hometown of Chicago. To be perfectly honest, we never thought we’d make it to a 50th issue. ACM has never been known for fundraising skills, financial acumen, or an airtight organizational structure. Mostly we’ve just been known for being independent since 1977 and for publishing young and exciting writers as frequently as we can manage it on a shoestring budget. We like it that way. So when we realized that we were in fact still around and viable and putting out our 49th issue, it struck us that the best way to celebrate that nice, round number was to set about celebrating our roots and publishing a Chicago issue.*
