The editors actively solicit writing that expresses the values of Chautauqua Institution broadly construed: a sense of inquiry into questions of personal, social, political, spiritual, and aesthetic importance, regardless of genre. We consider the work of any writer, whether or not affiliated with Chautauqua Institution, except for members of the Board of the Chautauqua Writers? Center unless solicited for special issues. The qualities we seek include a mastery of craft, attention to vivid and accurate language, a true lyric ?ear,? an original and compelling vision, and strong narrative instinct. Above all, we value work that is intensely personal, yet somehow implicitly comments on larger public concerns?work that answers every reader?s most urgent question: Why are you telling me this?

971 MENU is a purely online not-for-profit venture. We publish whenever we have enough work to justify an issue. That means five pieces. The minimum time between issues is thirty days, and attempts are made to coincide with the first of the month. We publish fiction and nonfiction of any length and sometimes accidentally other stuff. 971 MENU began in September 2006 as a publisher of fiction under 1000 words. We are pleased with our work, and we are quite pleased with the high-quality work we have been fortunate enough to publish, but we no longer limit ourselves in terms of length. However, your chance of seeing a thirty-page epic here is fairly slim. We still put out the short stuff, and some that's a little bit longer.

Abramelin has been publishing high quality poetry since the summer of 2006. We took 2010 off. Now we have returned with a new format! Instead of yearly or biannual issues, I will be doing monthly updates, often with featured poets. We are switching our focus to just poetry. I will consider a short story, but no more essays. So to all of our old friends, welcome back. And here's hoping to meet lots of new friends as we set out on our second life.

The Four Quarters Magazine is a non profit publishing venture from India dedicated to the fostering of creative writing in English. Beginning December 2011, the Magazine shall be published every three months in a digital format for the time being. We are of course trying to explore the possibility of a more tangible medium of publication, but are generally averse to the idea of entire forests being destroyed for the purpose of providing paper for a more "intimate reading experience." Enthusiasts from different professional backgrounds across several cities in India as well as from outside the country are part of this venture and the editorial board of the magazine.

Words in their purist form both cut and repair, sometimes simultaneously. They have been used to create impact and empires, to bring peace in times of war and set battles in motion. Words have not been given the credit they are owed. Scissors and spackle wants to slip back into the power of words and is searching for artists who string them together in ways that make us remember. We are not concerned with what box or title an artist's work fits into, or how many words it takes them to get there. We are only interested in the destination. We are interested in fiction with out boundaries.

At The Commanauts you'll also find a portal to the Random Writers Workshop.

The Aurorean has been featured in Poet?s Market and several-times recommended as a ?Pick? by the prestigious Small Press Review, most recently for its 10th Anniversary Issue (Fall/Winter 2010?2011). SPR has said of the Aurorean: ?a journal that has both high production values and quality poetry ... perfect to elevate you from the dark night of the soul.? In January of 2011, NewPages reviewer Sima Rabinowitz said of our 15th Anniversary Issue: "This little journal will fill you up." Our focus is always poetry of New England, and poetry of the seasons (including haiku) although we are open to other subjects as well. In a world full of angst, we publish poetry that uplifts, inspires, and is meditational, but is not religious or denominational, as we are ever mindful of diversity.

The editors of the literary e-zine LEFT HAND WAVING are happy to announce a radical change in their submission guidelines.

Solecisms is an online literary magazine with the goal of showcasing the work of writers, regardless of whether their work conforms to certain standards. We hope to grow a community here through our love of creativity, one that will hopefully produce fruitful works of both literature and other mediums. We are a group of individuals who love writing, but find that many of the literary publications out there are more concerned with convention than creativity. In order to remedy this, we banded together to offer a more open sort of literary magazine.

Efiction Notice is an online literary magazine specializing in serial novels.

PostPoetry is a modern way for the generation of the 21st century to express itself. Texts can be like old scars and calluses, like blood and dirt. Or they can be melancholy, quirky, ironic or enlightening. They can dissolve existing boundaries and suggest new ones. They can make us question our beliefs about what writing can do. Texts can champion social justice and human rights, war and psychological violence, giving rise to provocative or soothing thoughts. And if they don't entertain, they should at least make us laugh or cry. Or both. The PostPoetry mission is to cull the submissions we receive into a printed collection that will stay with you long after you read it, a collection you'll return to again and again. We're a print journal. Which, of course, doesn't make us better than online journals, but we like the fact that our contributors' work appears in a pleasant magazine that, between readings, will grace perhaps hundreds of bookshelves and coffee tables. The PP Mag doesn't set thematic limits. Texts and pictures will be collected and arranged in an appropriate aesthetic form in the printed magazine. The web presence can be your point of orientation ? the pictures and texts that you find under the category of ?samples? are a little glimpse of what you'll find in the printed version of the PP Mag. The PP Mag is bilingual: available in English and German. (We will publish English as well as German texts and translations.) Topics aren't compressed, allowing you to say what you have to say. PostPoetry want to join the play of your thoughts. This is the only way PostPoetry can react to impulses and present events.
