About the Magazine

Founded in 2021 | United States

All voices are heard. Hate is not. Our mission is to be free of advertising, and charging submission and reading fees, while awarding a minimum of $26 USD to our writers for their published work. Alphabet Box was launched September 2021, by publisher-editor Stephen FitzGerald. In the months to come, he’ll be recruiting a consulting board of “creative editors alongside visionary writers and readers.” We’d like to thank The West Review for its unselfish assistance in helping make AB a reality.

Masthead

We currently list only main editors, more will be added later! If you are an editor, you can edit your masthead in our admin panel :)
