Editorial Focus
Midwest Noir wants the grit under fingernails and the mud between toes. They believe in the Objective Correlative. Do not tell them you are lonely; show them the single plate on the table. Give them concrete work that is blunt and unflinching.
Midwest Noir is proudly based in Missouri, the twenty-fourth state. In honor of their roots, and to force their own editorial discipline, they limit their main run to twenty-four pieces for the entire year.
