Points in Case - Fiction (Nonfiction)



Description
Humorous, creative, thematic, and entertaining articles and lists

We don't follow a viral or utilitarian formula when it comes to selecting comedy articles and lists—if it's funny it's funny, and we'll do our best to make it work. We're very open to creative writing, atypical formats, mainstream topics with an original approach, mundane topics made interesting, edgy or controversial material, satire/parodies, and other offbeat ideas. We're looking for smart, irreverent, or eloquent comedy writing with personality or pizzazz, and a clear throughline. But the main goal is to arouse laughter, whatever your method.

Funny stories, observational humor, essays, current events, and other topical articles are great too, as long as they're comedic. The only styles we don't publish are poetry and satire news, because you already know where to get that.
