Editorial Focus

Old Scratch Press, founded by Current Words Publishing in 2023, fosters opportunities for full-length poetry and short-form work. Operated entirely by volunteers and funded by Current Words, the press charges nothing for publication. Decisions are made by collective members. Writers can submit year-round to Instant Noodles Lit Mag, with annual openings for new collective members.
