New Lit on the Block :: Prick of the Spindle Print Edition

Edited by Cynthia Reeser, Prick of the Spindle Print Edition comes to readers biannually in October and April of every year and is available in paper copy and eBook (Kindle).

Already having established the well-known and respected online quarterly publication, Prick of the Spindle, Reeser comments: "I started the print edition in part to expand our audience and readership, as well as the scope of what we publish. As a nonprofit, we wish to initiate subscriptions and also to be able to pay our contributors, and the print edition helps us to do both."

Prick of the Spindle readers can expect to find fiction, drama, nonfiction, poetry, interviews, and essays of a more formal nature, as well as artwork and experimental text/image pieces.

The inagurual print edition includes an interview with Sandy Longhorn, poetry by Jessica Cuello, Nandini Dhar, Claire Stephens (text/image), nonfiction by Juan Daniel Millán and Allan Ross, and fiction by Andrew Wallace Chamings, Adèle Cook, Caitlin Galway, Rachael Katz, Nichole LaVigne, Nick Stokes, Jill Stukenberg, Susannah M. Wilson, Olga Zilberbourg and Bonnie ZoBell, as well as back cover art by Lottie Cellini-Corley.

Future goals for Prick of the Spindle include increasing readership and distribution of the print edition while continuing to adhere to a mission of publishing authors not widely known or recognized.

Prick of the Spindle accepts submissions year-round online via Submittable or by post.
