My interest was aroused in twenty different directions and all those interests remained." What better goal for a literary magazine than to arouse interest in myriad directions? Accordingly, we publish all sorts: poetry, fiction, and nonfiction prose, criticism, miniatures, translations, visual art, excerpts, reprints, chapbook tuck-ins, and work in other genres and formats.

Entropy
"ENTROPY is a website featuring literary and related non-literary content. We like to think of ourselves as more than just a magazine or a website, but as also a community space. We seek to create a space where writers can engage with other writers, can participate in a literary community, and where thinkers can collaborate and share both literary and non-literary ideas. This means that we seek to cover topics such as video games, graphic novels, interactive literature, science fiction, fantasy, music, film, art, and other topics in addition to literary reviews, interviews, conversations, and articles on experimental literature, translation, small press practices, and performance. We appreciate diverse beliefs and perspectives and want to encourage open discussion through a variety of opinions. (Therefore, the views and opinions of contributors are not necessarily the views of Entropy as a whole.)" |

Sundress Publications
"A 501(c)(3) non-profit literary press collective founded in 2000, Sundress Publications is entirely volunteer-run, publishes chapbooks and full-length works in both print and digital formats, and hosts a variety of online journals. Our mission is to champion great work—especially by persons under-represented in literary publishing—and we welcome writers and artists regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, disability, religion, class, veteran status, and educational background. We are firm believers in fostering artists whose work is worthy of recognition. Sundress Publications works closely with its authors, artists, and contributors, providing feedback and assistance through every stage of the publication process. For this reason, we do not and cannot publish works we do not love whole-heartedly. Our aesthetic sensibilities run the gamut from traditional to innovative; we do not align ourselves with a single school or style. We seek works in all genres by intelligent, creative humans that speak to other intelligent, creative humans. In many ways, Sundress Publications envisions the manuscripts we publish as concept albums, not merely as collections of hot singles. We are most interested in the overall effect created by the artist, how the parts act in concert to create the whole." |

The Hedgehog Poetry Press
"The Hedgehog Poetry Press launched in October 2017, although our first publication was our magazine ‘A Restricted View From Under The Hedge’ which appeared in late March the following year. At the moment, we plan to publish four issues of the magazine, two collections in book form, two collections in pamphlet form and a variety of other pamphlets each year, although it really does depend on whether anybody wants them as we are entirely funded by sales. Submissions for collections will be taken from competitions, whilst all other publications will be ‘by invitation’. We are proud to be the home for the Cult of the Spiny Hog, which is our very own ‘club’ for readers and writers of poetry." |

Rejection Letters
"We started off in with the idea of publishing fictional rejection letters because we all get rejection letters and they always suck, so why not have a little fun with it, right? We published mostly rejection letters to everything from the zombie apocalypse to that drunk couple arguing in front of your apartment at 1am. We opened it up to weird little poems about things like Nicolas Cage’s Superman and affairs in motels. We opened it up to strange fiction like a girl who melts like chocolate in a jacuzzi and eating another’s brains with a melon-baller. We opened it up to heartbreaking CNF about dad leaving because of the heat. We do what we want. We’ll see what we do next…" |

Second Chance Lit
"Second Chance Lit is an online literary magazine - a place solely for previously rejected poetry and short prose - founded in 2020 by editor-in-chief David Wasserman. The online literary magazine community is amazing, supportive, and have an immensely difficult task accepting and rejecting submissions. It is our hope that Second Chance will be viewed as a spot to showcase those amazing pieces that didn’t quite fit somewhere else and that other lit mags will point writers in our direction when they have an exceptional submission which doesn’t quite fit their current issue or aesthetic. Your work was good - is good. It just wasn’t the right fit or at the right time or at the right place. Let us give it a home here, a second chance." |
