About JAKE

JAKE was the punkest little shit you know. He didn’t want to eat his vegetables, he didn’t want to wake up for school, he didn’t want to follow the established trends of what makes good literary writing good and bad literary writing bad. JAKE wanted to look deep into the heart of all entropy of the universe, and do a sick kickflip over the abyss between what we know is possible and what we dream can be. JAKE was the king of bad taste, of broken forms, and broken rules. JAKE wantsed all of the shade of the bigger, badder mags, and he wanted your funniest, strangest, or boldest words. JAKE was here to play without rules.

JAKE published work in most genres once per week (except poetry, who gets to double dip) at this time. He planned to read every piece that comes in within 1 month, but like the volume he published, it was subject to change depending on the volume of incoming work.

JAKE is now closed infinitely for submissions. Thank you for your interest. In the event he ever decides to start publishing again, it'll be on the Guidelines page.
