Magazines & E-zines


Barfing Frog Press - where the absurd meets the unthinkable. Hyperfiction, fiction, non-fiction, poetry & essays. Published Quarterly. Next reading period August 1st-31st.


Demolition - We want this magazine to be the battleground where literary fiction and pulp fiction fight to the death. Scare yourself, then scare someone else. Then send it to us.


Gold Dust - We founded Gold Dust because we wanted to offer readers the opportunity to discover work often overlooked from talented, up-and-coming writers, as well as providing a showcase for more experienced writers. Our literary articles and interviews will be of interest to readers and writers alike. Closing date for £30 Prize Short Story Competition 15th July 2007.


Literary Fever - A new transgressive magazine that seeks to bring writers and artists together to interpret and collaborate their forward-thinking works. In a conflict-driven world, Fever is meant to represent a burning passion for expression, and its mission is to keep the arts alive and thriving.


Opium Magazine - A literary humor publication that packs its pages with a rich and varied selection of short fiction, super-short fiction, poetry, cartoons, odd games, and quirky art. Opium likes strange, surprising literature with a humorous edge, but wisely steers clear of rants, riffs, and goofy mental twaddles.


Shots - The Crime & Thriller Ezine. We are not afraid to champion the underdog. We support and promote the smaller, independent publishers and presses. We are not an academic publication, a gang of enthusiastic crime & mystery lovers is a better description.



Events


Farrago Poetry - A spoken word and performance poetry organisation based in London. We run a range of different events, from Spanish language poetry nights to events for elders, but we are best known for pioneering slam poetry in the UK and for our links to the International performance poetry scene.



Databases


Ralan.com - Markets and extensive listings of interest to writers: contests, articles, guides, publishers and much more. Multiple award-winning site run by author Ralan Conley.
