Prick of the Spindle was begun in March 2007 in the spirit of creating a journal whose contribution to the literary arts would be well-rounded, with an acknowledgement to the works of literary history. It is the goal of the journal both to recognize new talent and to include those who have one or more feet planted in the writing community; we are simply looking for well-written, interesting pieces which embrace the fabric of diverse voices who have something to say, say it well, and say it originally.

Prick of the Spindle publishes poetry, fiction (from flash to novella-length), drama, creative and academic nonfiction, and literary reviews. Though we do not publish genre fiction, we are open to different forms. These may be more traditional, but infused with freshness and innovation; or experimental but not chaotic: if it is chaos in complete freedom of form you are aiming at, envelop it within some structure, even if it is only the structure of meaning.

Upcoming issues will include interviews with published authors on writing practice and craft. If you are interested in being interviewed, please contact by email at the address shown below. Prick of the Spindle is non-profit and therefore a non-paying market. If you are a person or organization who is interested in sponsorship or in making a donation, please contact Cynthia Reeser at pseditor@prickofthespindle.com

We welcome contact from publishers who may be seeking reviews of upcoming or recently-issued books. All questions should be directed to pseditor@prickofthespindle.com
