We're open to all styles of creative nonfiction and all aesthetics. Please note that we do not publish journalism or academic writing, but we do especially enjoy getting to the end of an essay and realizing that not only have we completely lost an hour of our day, we are actually smarter than we were an hour ago. We love to learn from your experiences. We want to learn new things we didn't know we were interested in.
