About the Magazine
Founded in 2021 | United States
The Razor wants your best story in a 2,000-word box. The story that could have been 3,000 words, but didn’t need to be. Surprise us with how deep your simplicity can be. That doesn’t mean we don’t like literary, or stories that take place in a character’s head. Be it minimal or maximal, send us a story where every moment counts. Where every word counts. Drop into your box a single pristine jewel, or fill it with mud that’s crawling with worms. Just make sure it stays in the box, whatever it is.
