New Writing Magazine!
Hey Guys,
We’ve decided to go ahead and get a literary magazine started. The details are still a bit fuzzy, but we will be needing submissions in the near future.
Here is what I can tell you–It will start out small, strictly Internet. I’ll likely get a blog started for the magazine itself to keep everyone updated on progress and calls for submissions.
We will initially accept poetry and short creative non-fiction. The editors have different tastes. So, many types of work will be accepted. I, myself, have a penchant for sestinas! In general, I prefer work to be realistic and edgy–ala Charles Bukowski, Ferlinghetti, David Sedaris….and so fourth. So, if you’re looking to submit….check out the aforementioned writers!
I will let you know about the other editors as things progress.
We will be taking submissions in the near future. So, look for updates here! I will make sure to keep everyone informed and I will post a link once the other blog is up–though if my second blog winds up getting declined, I will likely create a page on this blog for the magazine.
 We do not plan on charging a reading fee or charging for submissions–it will be free! The only payment we are able to offer at this time is publication! If the magazine takes off, we may charge for subscriptions which will, in turn, allow us to pay contributors! Yay!
So, wish us luck and I will keep everyone informed. If you happen to have something you’d like to submit, let me know and I will get you contact information!

Hi! I’m 19 and would be really interested in submitting (Lord knows that magazines offering to give a voice to young writers - too old to be considered children, too young to be taken seriously - are few and far between). Where should I send?
Thanks for your interest, we’re still waiting on approval for the site, but here is a list of magazines that you may consider submitting to:

There are many magazines out there! So keep an eye out and always remember to follow the submission guidelines to a t!
