SayYoureOneOfThem.jpg

For the first time, the world’s most influential reader has given her blessing to a short story collection.

With National Poetry Month officially wrapped up, Dan Wickett of the Emerging Writers Network has declared May “Short Story Month.” He plans to select three stories—one from a published collection, one from a print periodical, and one from an online journal—to read and blog about each day.

20x20 magazine

20x20 magazine

20×20 magazine is a square platform for writings, visuals and cross-bred projects. Rather than on a theme, each issue is assembled around meta-words to be interpreted, researched, illustrated according to a loose, wide and multi-angled perspective. The magazine includes 3 sections:
Words – in the shape of fiction, essays, poetry
Visions – drawings, photography and visual projects
The Blender – where words and visions cross paths

amphibi.us

amphibi.us

amphibi.us is looking for inventive, incendiary fiction, prose and poetry that lights everyone's eyes on fire. We want the stuff that you couldn't stop yourself from writing, the stuff that your mother told you was not poetry. We want the clean stuff, the dirty stuff, and everything in between. We update (nearly) daily, established and unknown writers alike.

Asymptote

Asymptote

Asymptote is an exciting new international journal dedicated to literary translation and bringing together in one place the best in contemporary writing. We are interested in encounters between languages and the consequences of these encounters. Though a translation may never fully replicate the original in effect (thus our name, “asymptote”: the dotted line on a graph that a mathematical function may tend towards but never reach), it is in itself an act of creation.
Burner Magazine

Burner Magazine

Burner is that girl. She's witty, pretty, and doesn't dumb herself down. By day, she's a kindergarten teacher and by night, dances gogo. Inspired by fellow revolutionaries from John Lennon to Virginia Woolf, she's a muse and amusing, compelling and never complacent. The Burner girl gets hot and bothered by the Marquis de Lafayette, aspires to redefine the zeitgeist like Nietzsche, and provokes thought like Margaret Atwood.

Electric Literature

Electric Literature

Electric Literature’s mission is to use new media and innovative distribution to keep literature a vital force in popular culture. Our quarterly anthology is streamlined--just five great stories in every issue--and available in every viable medium.

Forge

Forge

Without restricting ourselves to a particular genre, media, or theme, we aim to publish interesting, quality works, and every issue has a unique flavour.

Each of our two General Editors takes ownership of at least one issue per year, acting as the chief editor (or Uber-editor) for a particular issue, and leaves one issue per year open for a Guest Editor to act as Uber-editor.  This is just one more way in which Forge celebrates the diversity of contributors while exercising our own unique style, issue by issue.
