Editorial Focus

WhimsicalPoet seeks previously unpublished, well-crafted flash-fiction, poetry, and art that surprises, challenges, chills, endears, and otherwise evokes a strong emotional response from readers.

The editors love word mavericks, independent thinkers, and creators who strive toward mastery and truth to expose threads of the human experience. They are looking for both fresh voices and established writers.

Tips From the Editor

Less is often more. Show, don’t tell. Understand the importance of voice, the value of uniqueness, humor, wisdom, and emotional poignancy. We are looking for consideration of form, language, punctuation (or lack thereof), clarity, and consistency of meaning.
