One of my Twitter-length pieces of writing has been published in Seven By Twenty, an online literary magazine that uses Twitter as its publishing platform. My piece is viewable in their feed at twitter.com/7×20.
My poem “The Detective Contemplates Marriage” appears in issue #92 of the Australian literary magazine Voiceworks, alongside work by a number of other young writers and artists. The theme of this issue of the magazine is “Thing”, and it’s available from the Voiceworks website at www.voiceworksmag.com.au in print or eBook form.
Voiceworks is published by Express Media, and run by a group of interns and a volunteer editorial committee, all of whom are under twenty-five. It is produced entirely by young people and relies totally on contributions from the readers to make up the content.
My poem “The Sharpest Knife In The World” has been published in the twentieth and final issue of The Delinquent. You can purchase a PDF or printed copy of the magazine from thedelinquent.co.uk.
My very short, surreal story “Gravity” has been published in the “Imagination” issue of poetry and illustration magazine Popshot. The magazine is available in print from www.popshotpopshot.com, where you can also read a short online sample (which includes my piece) from the issue.
My work has appeared in Popshot once before, in the “Love” themed issue in 2012. It’s a literary magazine I always enjoy reading, both for the writing and the wonderful illustrations.
My short poem “3:46 PM” has placed second in the inaugural Poetry Book Society Student Poetry Competition. Another of my poems “Emergency Exit” was highly commended by the judge, George Szirtes. You can read both of the poems, and George’s comments on them on the PBS website: www.poetrybooks.co.uk.
Student membership of the PBS is free to anyone currently in higher education. The prize was a subscription to the Society, and so far I’ve enjoyed reading several of their books, including The Dark Film by Paul Farley, and Bad Machine by George Szirtes.
Liars’ League is a series of monthly live fiction nights. There are Leagues in London, New York, Leeds and Hong Kong. Each night generally has a theme – the theme of this one was “Short & Sweet”.
Issue #33 of Neon is now available, featuring the work of Rebecca L Brown, Ian Mullins, Steve Subrizi, Jacob Silkstone, Taylor Koekkoek, Harry Giles, Sam Fetters, James Trevelyan, and Charlie Hill.
Download it for free in a variety of formats from the website, or purchase a print copy for £2.50. Submissions for the next issue are open, and guidelines can be found here.
Two of my poems “Tick” and “Housemate” appear in the online magazine Strong Verse. They can be read online on the website strongverse.org, along with many other poems from both new and dead poets.
Strong Verse was founded by Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game (among other books), in order to “provide a forum for poetry that is meaningful and accessible”.
I’ve uploaded three very short hyperfiction texts that I wrote over the last few years. “Atrophy” is a single-page piece about urban decay. “All You Can Eat” is a single-page piece about food. “Listen, Sally” is a non-linear piece of flash fiction.
Hyperfiction uses hypertext links or other forms of coding to introduce non-linearity to a text. You can read more about it in this Wikipedia article.
My short prose poem “Please, Let This Bullet” appears in issue four of the magazine 1110. 1110 publishes one photograph, one essay and ten poems per issue. It’s a beautifully-made print magazine that publishes twice a year. More information can be found at 111oh.com.
