Women in REDzine We look for writing that is surprisingly exceptional, not necessarily the in your face brilliance, but the kind of writing that surprises you with story and a clear focus and voice. We love new writers, adore established writers, and embrace the I've-Never-Done-This-Before writers. If you have a story, a poem, an essay, or something that you haven't quite classified yet, but you think it could stand up to being read, then please submit it. Our staff loves to read! |

Mission: To publish the best writing, thought and information about work, or lack thereof, while providing a forum for readership to connect and respond. WORK is dedicated to celebrating the daily grind: white collar, blue collar, pink collar, sex work, food service, freelancing and more. WORK has an intentionally bland format, so that it can be enjoyed while you’re still on the clock. WORK is subversive, so you can be subversive at work. |

write this "the confrontation of aesthetics is the highest form of internet art. these people feel uncomfortable. what better measurement of art could you have? they should be made to feel uncomfortable. where they will fail, with very few exceptions, is they won't confront the reasons for their discomfort. they will rather insult and suppress." |
