The Fiddleback We look for writing that pushes the boundaries of language, for writers who would never be clichéd enough to use the phrasing “pushes the boundaries of language.” We believe that strong writers are mindful of the words they hire to represent them and understand that infinitudes can be built or lost within the slippery confines of the sentence. We are tired of stories and poems that don’t play for keeps. We are more inclined toward the outlandish, toward the unsayable, toward the spectacle.

The Fine Line Established in November 2009 by two graduated students of UC Santa Cruz, The Fine Line is here to provide a space for the individual’s need to produce creative works through writing and visual arts. Our magazine is not aimed at a particular style, or based on any traditional canon, but instead unites a variety of genres and experience levels. It is our hope that this diversity of talent will inspire and challenge all involved to push their work to new levels…or, to simply enjoy.	Poetry, Fiction	Yes	Yes		E-publication

The First Line The purpose of The First Line is to jump start the imagination-to help writers break through the block that is the blank page. Each issue contains short stories that stem from a common first line; it also provides a forum for discussing favorite first lines in literature. The First Line is an exercise in creativity for writers and a chance for readers to see how many different directions we can take when we start from the same place.
