Editorial Focus

Each year, After Happy Hour publishes two regular online issues (summer and fall/winter) and one themed contest issue, published in print every spring. The journal is open to work from any and all genres, including fiction, CNF, poetry, visual art, graphic narratives, and any combination of the above.

Tips From the Editor

The editorial crew is a weird bunch. We count among us a conlang-writing enby, a poet who carves words into food, and the author of a cannibal comedy. We would love to publish more genre, genre-bending, and experimental work but get less than we’d like. Send us some, and you’ll make our little oddball hearts happy.
