Artifice Magazine - How to start a literary magazine, part n+1

Artifice Elsewhere

Artifice Magazine is devoted to fiction and poetry aware of its own artifice: pastiche, mash-ups, cut-ups, experiments gone awry, sly metafiction with heart, whatever.

We're a print magazine tentatively scheduled to put out our first issue in Jan 2010 (tell your friends!).

How to start a literary magazine, part n+1

Write and post a call for submissions:

ARTIFICE MAGAZINE announces an open call for submissions for its upcoming Issue 1, to be published in January 2010.

Submissions will be accepted year-round online at http://www.artificemag.com/submissions/

Artifice Magazine is looking for previously-unpublished stories, prose works, and poems, pieces that are (as the name implies) aware of their own artifice: pastiche, mash-ups, cut-ups, experiments gone awry, sly metafiction with a heart, and whatever other sorts of text machines you can imagine. We want things that will make us:

a. laugh and clap our hands with joy and surprise
b. sob silently and clap our hands, with a different sort of joy and surprise

We do not believe that postmodernism need or ought be heartless. But neither do we require that every story wear its heart on its sleeve.
