Pinch is a nationally recognized literary journal published by the University of Memphis. The editors publish work that uses form, content, and subtext do dissolve boundaries maintained by traditional publishers. The authors of these innovative texts most often identify as outsiders because their voices are underrepresented in contemporary literature.

Our editorial process is designed to minimize gatekeeping and nepotism. More than 90% of the written work we publish is unsolicited. We offer no-cost equity submission periods, and our submission portal stays open year-round. Each submission is evaluated by a minimum of two readers and our contests adhere to the CLMP code of ethics. In an effort to publish more authors, we publish work weekly on our online magazine, PJO (www.pinchjournal.com/read [5]).

Representative Authors:

<p>Our community includes our contributors. We’ve become a place where writers start their careers. Since our founding in 1980, we have published early work by Margaret Atwood, Chen Chen, Roxane Gay, Terrance Hayes, Harrison Scott Key, Rae Armantrout, T.C. Boyle, Wanda Coleman, Raye Hendrix, Whitney Collins, and others. </p>
