Wound Up Literary

Our fully-online, brand-spanking-new literary journal is open for flash fiction pieces that are built like pocket watches: small, efficient, complex. Connect every thread and make each word count. Cut ruthlessly. Know the voice, it’s what we care about. Make it quick, make it manic, make it strange, make it click. Give us pages that are choked out and breathless. We ask for first time publication rights, but after your work is published the rights go back to you.
