thelunchhour - Poetry
(Fiction) (Nonfiction)
Description
Note: one submission per reading period.
what is all this?
thelunchhour is an online & print literary collective which publishes fresh works of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and the likes every few months. our overarching goal is to publish a plethora of authors, both known & emerging, from all corners of the world. as a writer myself, i know the courage it takes to put yourself out there. i want to make that process a little less scary & give beautifully talented authors a space to shine. all my print issues are handmade with love & care, shipped directly to you.
what will you publish?
as a super broad (and overly-vague) answer: everything. i don't have a theme in mind for any issue of this journal, nor am i tied to any semblance of style, format, or genre. i truly do love it all - micro-poetry, prose, science fiction, sweeping romances. i like the weird, eccentric stuff just as much as the serious & grounded. to put it plainly: i will know it when i see it.
