You're Allowed :: One Year Anniversary

It's our One Year Anniversary Party, with two great writers from Publishing Genius:

-Rupert Wondolowski
-Joseph Young

That's right, we've been doing the "You're Allowed" series for one year... I know, it's hard for us to believe too. We'll have cake, party hats and glitter bombs... Hold on, are we having glitter bombs? I can't remember. Anyway, it'll be fun.

Open mic as always. Show up early to sign up.

P.S. This is not the first Thurs. of the month. Keep that in mind. We delayed the event a week because of AWP. Chicago!

David Foster Wallace Interview :: Editor's Picks

I just recently came across this 80+ minute, unedited interview on Slate.com, and just had to make sure that everyone else saw it. I've posted the first two parts but there are more, many more.

"You're Allowed" :: Upcoming Readings

New Magazine Out Now :: Volume Three

It's a shame this new issue took such a long time to come out – our publishing schedule still leaves something to be desired, but we're working on it. But there is good news, Artichoke Haircut Vol. 3 is now available! And, if I must say so myself, which of course I must, it is well worth the wait.

You can pick up your copy at the online-store widget on the right, or, if you live in Baltimore, you can pick one up at Atomic Books and Normals Bookstore.

Featured in the current issue:

-Megan Boyle
-Chris Toll
-Dave K.
