About the Publication
Folly is an international publication, based in Aotearoa New Zealand. What happens when a literary journal has a torrid love affair with a Victorian gossip rag? Folly happens – documenting our cultural moment in all its messy, magnificent glory. Touted by media as the rebel child of the lit scene, and finalist for the 2024 CLMP Best Literary Debut awards, Folly is found worldwide from parliamentary desks, independent bookstores and the rooms of luxury boutique hotels. Folly is an annual print only anthology of collectable art, commentary, short stories, non-fiction and poetry produced in Wellington city, New Zealand. Unbound by academic affiliations and fiercely independent, it is home to content which is beautiful, timeless and appealing to enough people that our print runs sell out. Within a month. Folly is a member of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses and abides by the CLMP Code of Ethics. We open for submissions on 13 January 2025, closing 1 May, via Submittable. This can be accessed directly from our website on the button below, or via the Submittable platform. We look for works with blunt, provocative humour, satirical takes on the social scene, and starkly honest accounts of ordinary life. We are particularly seeking content that is provocative, a bit sexy and is starkly honest.
