Think of Knee-Jerk as a dinner table filled with friends and family. We’re all sharing ideas, stories, laughter, and a whole lot of corndogs. The table is round, everyone is facing each other; everyone is enjoying the company. Next to the published writer is an emerging writer, a person who’s searching for a home for his or her first story. Sitting across from them is a musician who finds time to squeak out a story between studio sessions. Also at the table, the casual reader of literature. And the guy who’s read Infinite Jest twice. We invite you to pull up a chair and contribute to the ongoing dialogue. Like any good discussion, we’ll venture beyond that knee-jerk reaction into what [important name] called [quote about venturing beyond knee-jerk reactions]. At Knee-Jerk we hope to evoke conversations that bring everyone a little closer together, that make the literary world a little smaller. And a little bigger. |
| What type of submissions you are looking for: |
We are looking for fiction and creative nonfiction that is difficult to define–the more you blur the line, the better. We consider any prose that is smart, illuminating, experimental, and/or funny. We also accept interviews with literary writers and artists of any kind who can offer insight into the craft of writing or of art in general. We also have a section called Reviews of Things, where writers can review literally anything, so long as their review is somewhat humorous and speaks to a deeper aspect of truth. |
| Information on Contests: |
We are currently looking for material to include in our annual print issue, to be published in the summer of 2010. |
