Editorial Focus
Claudine is a monthly literary magazine. Each issue highlights fiction and creative nonfiction micros, a micro by a new writer, and a prose chapbook review (or two).
The editors value writers and their work, and are proud to offer a small stipend for all original work published as well as a sales platform for the chapbooks they review.
Tips From the Editor
What we’re looking for. Pieces that move; pieces that surprise. Stunning prose. Thoughtful punctuation over strict grammar. Innovative form over arbitrary paragraphing. Intentional language over wordsmithing. Specificity and context over vague emotion. Interrogation and transcendence over bald trauma. We crave discovery and wonder and awe. Bittersweet is our favorite emotion. We like fairy tales, fabulism, hauntings, but more than any genre, we love prose that makes us ache and images that linger. (Sea creatures, always a plus.)
Word count: up to 400 words. All categories. Firm count (read: don’t get cute with hyphens).
